Due to licencing restrictions our tours are not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. You may bring your dog (however old it is) as long as it is well-behaved and kept on a lead. Note however that dogs are not allowed in our winery under any circumstances.
Summer Grand Tours run at 11am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (plus Bank Holidays) and last around 2 hours.
They cost £30 per person and pre-booking is essential. Bookings are available for Summer Grand Tours running to the end of October 2024.

We have three bottles of wine (two still and one sparkling) open for tasting 11am to 4pm on Tuesday to Sunday. Our unguided tastings cost £10 per person.
Booking is advisable although you can risk it and just drop in. If there is space you can taste, although please do not be offended if we have to turn you away during busy times.
