Vineyard and Winery Tours at Dorset’s Furleigh Estate
Our Vineyard and Winery Tours run at 11am and 2.30pm every day from Wednesday to Saturday and 11am on Sundays. Wine tasting is, of course, included.
Booking is essential.
The Summer Grand Tours
Running from Easter to the end of October, the Summer Vineyard and Winery Grand Tour at Furleigh celebrates all that is special here in the warmer months. The tour includes:
- a brief outline of the Furleigh story
- a description of the history of English wine
- a stroll to the vineyard to see what is happening there (you may spot our resident deer)
- an explanation of how we look after our vines during the year
- a look inside our state of the art winery and a description of how we make our still and sparkling wine
- a seated tutored tasting of three of our still and two of our sparkling wines
- a chance to buy our award winning wine to take home
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 and 2.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 11am on Sundays. They 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 2025.
If you already have a Tour voucher or are a member of our Wine Clubs (and so entitled to free tour places) please select ‘Tour with Voucher’ or ‘Grand Tour for Club Members’ after you have selected your preferred date/time. If appropriate be sure to bring your voucher with you on the day.
Summer Picnics
From May to the end of August we offer picnics at 1pm with tours on Fridays and Saturdays. Please book your tour and then book your picnic below, but be sure to select the same date as your tour.
Our picnics are generous and feed two people. There is a choice of vegetarian or not vegetarian. Full details of the contents of each type of picnic is shown here.
The picnics are £45 for two people. Please insert number of picnics required below (not number of guests).
Please note that we need 48 hours notice to order your picnics in.
The Classic Tours
The Classic Tour is a special experience for those that want a shorter tour but still want to see as much as possible. The tour includes:
- a brief outline of the Furleigh story
- a description of the history of English wine
- a walk to our nearest vineyard (from Easter until the end of October)
- an explanation of how we look after our vines during the year
- a look inside our state of the art winery and a description of how we make our still and sparkling wine
- a seated tutored tasting of two of our still and one of our sparkling wines
- a chance to buy our award winning wine to take home
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.
Classic Tours run at 11am and 2.30pm on Wednesdays. They last around 90 minutes.
The Classic Tours cost £20 per person and pre-booking is essential. Bookings are available for Summer Classic Tours until the end of October 2025. After this date we run our Classic Winter Winery Tours which do not include a walk to the (by then muddy) vineyard.
If you already have a Tour voucher, when you choose your time, please select ‘Tour with Voucher’ after you have selected your preferred date/time. Be sure to bring your voucher with you on the day.
No time for a tour? Drop in for a tasting!
We have three bottles of wine (two still and one sparkling) open for tasting 11am to 4pm on Tuesday to Sunday (last tasting at 3pm on Sundays). Our self-guided 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 really busy times.
Please note we only have room for small groups of less than 6 people for tastings. Please see our Group Tours for more information on larger groups.
