Vineyard Tour and Tasting with Sparkling Afternoon Tea for Two at Kerry Vale Vineyard
Overview
Head to a corner of Shropshire for a delightful day of touring and tasting at the family-run Kerry Vale Vineyard, and learn all about some excellent English wine before a sparkling afternoon tea made for sharing with this Vineyard Tour and Tasting with Sparkling Afternoon Tea for Two.
Fittingly conceived back in 2010 over a glass or two of wine, the six acre Kerry Vale vineyard has since grown to include over 6,000 vines. Get down to the task of grape and site discovery, going all the way back to Roman times with a surprising amount of history!
After that you’ll learn the art of wine tasting sampling four tasty English wines, savouring the flavour profiles and comparing tasting notes across five simple steps with your tour companions. Before heading home you’ll both get to enjoy an afternoon tea with scones, cakes, finger sandwiches and a glass of sparkling wine too, toasting to your newfound knowledge.

Vineyard Visit
An interesting talk and generous wine tasting. The ‘Sparkling Tea’ was beautifully presented and could arguably give the Ritz a run for its money. Delicious! The venue was buzzing and the staff smiling and helpful. This experience was a gift from long-standing friends and I have since reported to them how much we enjoyed it.

Fascinating insight into the world of wine making. Russell was very knowlegeable about the vineyard and very amiable. The afternoon tea was lovely and enormous, but the two of us bravely made our way through it!

Brilliant Time
We arrived early and were given a coffee while everyone else on the tour arrived - Geoff took us round the vineyard explaining what was what, why and how - even answering our very daft questions. Then came the tasting, we were taught what to look for, how to taste and given a couple of whites and a rose to try. Afternoon tea was possibly a challenge - I'm lactose intolerant, but the thoughtfulness and consideration shown by the staff was fantastic. We both thoroughly enjoyed our whole day

Cheers to Kerry Vale Vineyard
We enjoyed a very friendly and interesting experience at Kerry Vale Vineyard. The host provided a stimulating tour and professional presentation which led to the highlight of the visit - the tasting of their wines. The tasting was pleasurable and informative and all the wines we sampled indicated just how far British wine has developed in recent years. The tasting was followed by a lunch of a lovely selection of sandwiches, cakes and tea. Good luck with the grape harvest.

Lovely treat
I was bought this experience by my son for my 50th birthday. The day was lovely and sunny which meant the tour of the vineyard was most enjoyable. Geoff talked us through all the history of the vineyard which carried on upstairs in the 'tasting room' where we tasted 4 of the wines (you can taste more downstairs in the shop) our afternoon tea was ready and waiting for us after and I have to say was one of the nicest I've had. A glass of fizz finished off the experience very nicely.

I was given this Experience by kind and generous colleagues. The tour, presentation, wine-tasting and explanations were very interesting and informative. The Afternoon Tea (which we had after the tour, at lunch-time) was absolutely delicious: dainty little portions of sandwiches and cakes, and although the scones looked big, they were very light. The excellence of the Experience was enhanced for me by the knowledge that it was my valued colleagues who had given it to me. A wonderful morning

Lovely gift 📦
We spent an interesting few hours at Kerry Vale Vineyard last Sunday. Even though the sun didn't shine we received a warm welcome on arrival and were served with a coffee whilst waiting for the tour to begin. After an informative walk through the vines we headed back to the very pleasant café for the wine tasting itself. All very efficient and followed by a good cream tea served with a glass of sparkling wine. Full marks to the owners of the vineyard for a very pleasant experience.

Very enjoyable visit
The whole experience was very enjoyable and very professionally run. Tea/coffee while waiting for everyone to arrive followed by an informative talk and visit to the vines. The tasting was informative and we tried some very nice wines. The afternoon tea was very generous and beautifully presented. Sandwiches and cakes were delicious and clearly home made. The staff were fantastic and I would highly recommend this 'experience'

Best afternoon tea I have had
My daughter bought me a voucher for my birthday. I went to the vineyard with my sister and had a lovely afternoon. The weather was kind to us and so we had the full tour and talk. I found it interesting to to be told about the different vines and how they were looked after, the history of the land and the family business. The tasting was informative and we were able to taste a few of the wines available. The highlight was the sandwiches and cakes of the afternoon tea with a glass of fizz
