And so our vineyard tour season comes to an end. What a year it’s been!

16 public vineyard tours
15 private tours

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 620 wine lovers
🍾 558 bottles opened.
🥂 3720 glasses enjoyed (and washed!)
🍞 31 loaves of Matleena’s bread.
🌱 5.2kg of Chris’s pesto.
🐟🧀Countless kilos of Macneils Smokehouse salmon & Croome Cuisine cheese.
❤️ We collectively spent around 300 hours hosting you (not including all the communications!)

Tours remain our most enjoyable job here. Meeting wine enthusiasts of all backgrounds, sharing fascinating conversations, and watching friends introduce each other to English wine – there’s nothing quite like it. From complete beginners to seasoned wine lovers, you’ve all brought such curiosity and enthusiasm that it makes all those hours in the vineyard feel worthwhile.

Bookings for the 2026 season will open around March. Until then, gift vouchers are available on our website – perfect for sharing the vineyard experience as a Christmas present. And we are always open to private tour enquiries.

See you next year, or when you next come to buy wine.

Chris, Tim & Bev​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
