Vineyard tour and tasting
Tours can be given as a gift -please look at our gift vouchers as these can be used against the tours or for anything on the website.
We do friendly informal tours and our aim is that you enjoy yourselves. Entry to the vineyard is included and the walk can take from as little as 30 minutes to one hour (as long as you like within reason). This can be done either before or after the tasting. Please keep in mind that we are a small family vineyard without a tailored visitor building (we are 'rustic!'). We have an outdoor shelter so please come equipped with warm clothes. Your tour includes tasting three still wines and our rose sparkling, and we have additional options for a cheese selection. If you would like a chilled bottle of rose sparkling on the day please just add that to the shopping cart from this page separately..
About the cheese selection: We can provide a selection of local cheeses with bread or biscuits for you to enjoy during your wine tasting. Brinkworth Dairy is a local farm down the road acclaimed for their cheeses. Price is per person. Children under 12 are free but all children are the responsibility of the parent and we do not have any child friendly facilities.
