What did you get up to?
When we first visited the Vineyard we were greeted by lovely staff, and shown to the café where we purchased a lovely glass of wine and a tea. We had arrived 15 minutes early so we had time to take advantage of the outside seating area- in front of the beautiful vineyard! When the tour started we were told about the origin of the vineyard, and how the owner started their business. We were then shown around a different area outside and provided with a large amount of information regarding the different types of ways the grapes are grown and how they make their spectacular wines. We were shown around the bottle shed and given examples of how the different types of wine are bottled and fermented. We were then taken up stairs to the cosy tasting area where we tried over 10 different types of still and sparkling wines. After this we were provided with the option to buy some of the wine and take advantage of the scenic seating area around the vineyard.
What did you enjoy the most?
I definitely enjoyed the tasting part of the vineyard tour, as we were able to try lots of different wines that we normally wouldn’t of; including dessert wine that we were told is beautiful with or over different types of desserts. I would have to say that the sparking rose was my favourite wine that was provided, and I even brought myself two glasses of this after our tour which was very reasonably priced.
Top Tip

3. Make a day of it and make sure you go down to hasting sea front, it has a beautiful seaside and lots of lovely restaurants.
