The sun shines and God is in heaven in Somerset
Ardwick vineyard is a hidden gem in the Mendip Hills. The picnic set the scene. Very tasty in a glorious setting. The tour, led by Howard was absolutely superb. Over all,, a very good day.

So fun!
The tour was great and really informative. We learnt so much and tasted new wines including the very special jubilate. I got the middle food package for after the tour which was lovely with plenty for us both the eat and drink. We played tennis for a while afterwards and just had a generally enjoyable day out. We were running late and called ahead to let them know, they were great - understood and were ready for us when we arrived. Would definitely recommend.

Delayed Xmas treat.
On a wild windy and wet Saturday we ventured out to Aldwick for our tour and taste experience. Superb from start to finish with our very well informed guide/owner. We started with a little sip of something sparkling and then had a video presentation before setting off for the vineyard to see the vines. Then back to the farm for the tasting of a further 3 wines. Would recommend this tour.

Tip top tasting and tour!
Our knowledgeable and friendly host Howard made the tour of this family run business a warm experience, unlike visiting a large commercial estate. The vineyard tour set in the beautiful Somerset countryside was followed by a generous tasting of 3 of their excellent wines. We learned a lot and enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended.

Very interesting and great value for money
The vineyard was in a picturesque location down some pretty country lanes. We had a film and short talk in the wedding room accompanied by a full glass of beautiful tasting English bubbly - Chris, the guide, was very entertaining and funny. After the talk we headed out to the vineyard to find out about how wine is made. Then back to the tasting room for glasses (just sips for me, the driver!) of three different wines. We’ll be buying this as a gift for others - highly recommended.

Great activity in a wonderful setting
My partner and I booked the wine tasting tour at aldwick estate following a voucher we had recieved from a friend. The day was well organised, in a great setting, with very welcoming knowledgable hosts. The wine tasting was very enjoyable and they have a great variety on site. I would certainly recommend the tour to friends and hope to be back for more wine soon!

Wine tasting at Aldwick
This was a birthday gift. The day itself was extremely enjoyable with excellent hosts at the venue. We also booked lunch following the tour and tasting along with overnight accommodation. This gave us a chance to take in two other wines with our meal which were not included in the wines sampled earlier. Although the restaurent is closed in the evening, stopping the night enabled us to relax in the apartment without the need to travel back home until the next day.

Most enjoyable!
Most enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours in a beautiful place! We were extremely lucky to have a lovely sunny, warm afternoon to enjoy the stroll around the vineyard and the distant views. Howard our guide was informative, amusing and entertaining and gave us a good knowledge of the history of the farm and the family and of course the wines. This experience was a delightful gift for my retirement.

A Great Gift
We were gifted the tour & tasting by our daughter. It was an excellent experience that we would recommend. The tour started with a welcome drink of sparkling wine. The tour part was approx 45 mins followed by 45 mins tasting 3 different wines. The experience was value for money, interesting and humorously presented.

A lovely tour and tasting
We had a lovely visit hearing about the history of the vineyard and tasting the wines they produce. The estate is nestled against the Mendips in a very quiet location. Wish we'd had time for lunch but hope to go back another time for that. Well organised. Plenty of parking. Grab a water in the bar if thirsty on arrival.

Exceeded expectations
This had been a gift, to which I took a friend for her belated 40th birthday and a long over due catch up. I booked the tour then thought how wonderful would be to have lunch and then saw we could also stay. Well from the moment we got there until we left, we couldn’t have had a better time. The Sunday lunch was 10/10, the vineyard tour and tasting with Chris with Tina was 10/10 full of expertise and fun. We stayed in the forge, which was 10/10 too! THANK YOU

Very enjoyable!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the Aldwick vineyard. He gave enough information to make the tour enjoyable without making it too technical for the layperson. He had many interesting stories which helped make the day even more enjoyable. The wine tasting helped finish the tour off nicely.

A very enjoyable afternoon
Aldwick Estate is surrounded by beautiful countryside and vineyards! We had a delicious meal before the tour at a reasonable price. The tour started with a short video followed by a glass of the Estates, “bubbly”, very nice. We then went off to explore where the grapes are grown. Our guide was very informative and regaled us with family stories as to how the vineyard began and how the wines got their names. Following which we enjoyed samples of the Estates wine. I purchased a blush. Perfect.

Wine tasting and so much more!
We received a voucher for the wine tasting tour and decided to book lunch and stay over so we could properly enjoy the delicious wines Aldwick has to offer. We were not disappointed. From the moment we booked to the moment we left we felt cared for. Set in the stunning Somerset countryside, this family run organisation oozed love and pride for what they’ve achieved in the past 10 years. The tour was fun, the wine of high quality and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!
