Vineyard Tour & Tasting
Discover English wines in one of the most beautiful vineyards of West SussexAbout this experience
On Saturdays from Easter to September we offer a guided tour of the vineyard and winery, followed by a tasting of our award winning wines in the lodge, besides the historic windmill.
We begin with tea, coffee and Bridget’s homemade cakes, as you take in our stunning views of the South Downs. You will then go on a beautiful, informative walk through the vines, wild flowers and down to the lakeside to meet the alpacas, with a tasting and stops along the way to learn about the growing year, our four different trellising systems and terroir (with lots of opportunities for photos too!).
We head to the winery for a refreshing glass, then look at each step of the wine making process, from pressing to fermentation, bottling to disgorge, including the tank room and barrel room. Then we return to the wine lodge for a tutored tasting and discussion on both sparkling and still wines.
The tour and tasting will last approximately 3 hours. You are welcome to stay afterwards to enjoy our beautiful vineyard - consider booking a picnic or platter for lunch, to have with a glass of your favourite wine from our range.
