You'll arrive at midday and it's straight to a two course lunch from a selected menu in the recently refurbished restaurant, which will be accompanied by a glass of English wine. After a leisurely lunch, your guide will meet you at 13:30 in the vineyard shop to escort you to the vineyards, where the cycle of the vine growing year will be explained to you.
The tour will then move into the state of the art winery where your guide will lead you through the winemaking process from press right through to bottling line. Finally ,you will return to the shop for a tasting of a selection of approximately five award winning red, white and sparkling wines.
After the tour you are free to explore the herb garden, take a walk in the vineyards or browse in the wine and food store.
