Wine Flight

Please do visit us at any time when we are open (10am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday) and enjoy a Wine Flight. £15 per person. There is no need to book. In the summer we pour the wines and give you an introduction to the Estate outside on our terrace under the tipi roof. A spectacular space overlooking the wild flower meadow and the vines. In the winter we snuggle up in our gorgeous and cosy tasting spaces. The Wine Flight includes four wines and is a mixture of still and sparkling. You will have a one-to-one introduction to the wines by a team member. If you are hungry you can also order a platter including venison charcuterie (and sometimes wild boar) from the Estate.
