What to Pour at Your Wedding: Drinks from Cornwall, Devon & Somerset
Whether you’re planning a laid-back garden party, a festival-style celebration, or a more traditional wedding weekend, one thing guests always remember is the bar. And what better way to celebrate than with drinks that showcase the best of where you're getting married?
Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset are packed with exceptional breweries, vineyards, and distilleries, and we’ve pulled together some of our favourite local options to help you stock the bar, wow your guests, and keep the vibe perfectly local.

Cornwall is bursting with incredible local producers that bring flavour, character, and craft to any wedding bar, perfect if you’re looking to personalise your drinks offering and showcase the best of the southwest.
Tarquin’s Gin is a staple for good reason it’s distilled on the north coast and infused with hand-foraged botanicals. Add it to your G&T station, or create a Cornish twist on a negroni.

For a non-alcoholic option, look to Pentire, a stunning plant-based botanical spirit made in Cornwall. Serve it with tonic, a twist of grapefruit, and a sprig of rosemary for a beautifully grown-up drink that doesn’t compromise on flavour.
