Vineyard & Distillery Tours & Tastings

Discover the fascinating world of English wine and spirits with this fabulous vineyard and distillery tour and tasting experience for two. Throughout the UK, acres upon acres of vines, grains and botanicals produce thousands of bottles of top quality, home grown, wines and spirits each year. This experience is an ideal opportunity to find out more about your favourite tipple!

During the tour, a knowledgeable guide will unravel the captivating history behind the ingredients. From the meticulous process of cultivating vines and harvesting grains, to the intricate art of fermentation, blending botanicals, and finally, the bottling of these liquid masterpieces. Discover how these high-quality ingredients are meticulously crafted in-house, and on a larger scale for commercial purposes.

After your tour, many venues offer cafes, restaurants, and shops where you can indulge in a delicious lunch or pick up something to bring home and enjoy later on. Each location offers a unique program, and it's worth noting that the Oxfordshire location includes both a winery and brewery tour and tasting for two, while the West Fisher Winery in Surrey offers a captivating winery tour instead of a vineyard tour.

Embark on this unforgettable adventure and immerse yourself in the exquisite world of vineyards and distilleries. Gain a newfound appreciation for the craft behind your favourite tipples and create lasting memories along the way.

  We enjoyed our trip to Carr Taylor Vineyard. We were very lucky with the weather and were also able to take our dog with us, which was a bonus. The talk was interesting and amusing and the tasting was excellent. We would like to have seen a little more of the vineyard itself, but got a good idea of the wine-making process and the flavour of the wines. The site was a little run down and could do with refurbishment.

  Had the tour and tasting given to me as a birthday present. It was a nice sunny afternoon to walk around the vineyards with the knowledgeable and friendly guide, and there were some very good wines to taste afterwards. I purchased some of the wine produced here also.

  Fantastic choice of experience day and not one I would've thought of choosing at first. Glad I did, the vineyard was interesting, eye opening and fun to tour around, with knowledgeable owners and great wine tasting to be had at the end too. Anyone curious to know more about English wines will enjoy this!

  It was nice to visit a small family-run vineyard in lovely countryside. They had reduced the tour size to enable social distancing in these strange Covid times, and we felt safe. We were allowed to sample all of the wines they had available. Some were worthy award winners. The cream tea (£5 extra) was extremely good value!

  We were give this as a Christmas gift. Our guide (Henny) was very friendly and knowledgeable! The tasting was very generous with no sales pressure at all. With the reduced group size because of Covid-19 it made it even more friendly. We stayed the night in their Farmhouse B&B, the rooms are lovely and the breakfast delicious. However we were disappointed with the evening meal which was provided by an outside catering company. Whilst it tasted lovely the main course was little more than a canapé! Neither my husband nor I have large appetites but even we were left a little hungry. BUT overall it was a very enjoyable time.
