WINE TASTINGS
Enjoy a tutored tasting of our wines or drop in anytime and try what you like in the bar, with small sample measures available of our wines. Please feel free to browse around the site and look at the vine varieties we use to make wine in the UK. We also have a small orchard and herb garden, from which some of our own produce is grown for our kitchen and winery - our vermouth is a great example of this! Please be aware though, for health and safety reasons the winery buildings are off limits unless accompanied by a member of staff on a guided tour. |
