Art & Wine

Join us for an inspiring art class led by the talented local artist Madeleine Tapp! Embrace your creativity and explore your artist flair, guided by Madeleine’s expertise.
This hands-on workshop promises a relaxing and imaginative atmosphere, perfect for all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or trying your hand at painting for the first time, Madeleine will be there to support you, sharing tips and techniques, as well as providing all the canvas and materials you may require.
To enhance your experience, you’ll be greeted with your choice of delicious pizza and a festive drink upon arrival. It’s a great chance to connect with fellow budding artists, and leave with a unique, handcrafted piece of art to brighten your home this season.

- Margherita – an absolute classic. Tomato base & mozzarella, topped with fresh basil & a sprinkle of black pepper
- Pepperoni- nothing more than pepperoni & mozzarella on a tomato base. Simple and delicious

Boring T&C’s
- Weather Considerations: We love our British weather, but it can be a bit unpredictable! Our terrace is fully enclosed, but we recommend bringing an extra layer just in case. Don’t worry, we’ll have cozy blankets and hot water bottles available to keep you warm and comfortable.
- Booking Numbers: We’re excited to have you here for a Skylark event! However, if we have fewer than 10 bookings for the workshop, we may need to cancel. If that happens, we’ll let you know at least 24 hours in advance. Please know that we truly appreciate your understanding, and this is something we try to avoid!

Fantastic hosts
Richard Barnes via Google Reviews
“Fantastic hosts, excellent food & drink and a beautiful view. Have visited a number of times now and the laid back vibe here is the perfect fit for the view of the sun setting over the vineyard… achingly pretty! Whether you’re having a romantic meal or a family day out, Matt and his team will make sure you’re well looked after. Also, local beer doesn’t get much more local than this!!"
Definitely worth a visit
Stephen Rayner via Google Reviews
“We’ve been here for a wine tasting, with friends for drinks, with family for the halloween event and are here at the beer/pizza event with live music. Every time we have found the staff so helpful and welcoming and the beer/ wine produced here is very good, definitely worth a visit, we will be back"
Chilled atmosphere
Ben Asbridge via Google Reviews
“What a day! Had the pleasure of doing the wine tasting experience with my wife and walking through the vineyard. Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. There was a really calm, chilled atmosphere and you can tell that everyone who works here is passionate about what they do. We were blessed with the weather but the day itself was perfect. Throughly enjoyable day. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys wine, food and the company of others.”
Sunset is beautiful
Bethany Holmes via Google Reviews
“We have been here for both coffee and cake and evening drinks and on both occasions were made to feel very welcome and looked after well! Cake was delicious and the iced vanilla latte was the best I’ve ever had! The wine is pretty tasty too! Highly recommend a visit as the atmosphere in the evening along with the sunset is beautiful.”
Beautiful hidden gem
Mishmash via Google Reviews
“A beautiful afternoon wine tasting. This place is a beautiful hidden gem and I can’t believe I have only just discovered it! Wine tasting accompanied by a delicious ploughman’s lunch. The farm shop has a lovely selection of local produce, ice cream, homemade cakes, pasta etc as well as cute stuff for the home. This place is absolutely perfect for a girly day out or a date day. Everything about it is wonderful and I shall definitely return"

“An amazing place! We were on holiday and went twice. Pizza evening on a Friday (great food and a great atmosphere... there was even live music) and then for lunch a couple of days later. The food is great and the staff were really friendly and helpful. A MUST if you are in the area!"
