Vineyard Tour and Wine Tasting
This was an excellent afternoon. We like wine but had no idea about what goes into its production. The host was first class; he explained everything very clearly, then we tried a taste of what we had seen growing. A cream tea topped off the day and made it perfect.

Dave ‘the hat’
Great tour with Dave. Good opportunity to sample the wines. Disappointing cream tea with shop bought cakes, no sandwiches and too few seats.
