About this event
Wine Tasting
Our wine tasting evenings are a great introduction to the British wine industry, with information on the viticulture and management throughout the year, as well as the wine making process. You will experience a guided tasting, with information on tasting notes and pairings for our four recommended wines; red, white, rosé and English sparkling. This is followed by a Skylark wood-fired pizza buffet, with bruschetta, coleslaw and salad.
Our winter evening tastings begin at around 6:30pm. Our tasting duration (including food) is approximately 2 hours. Our 2024 and 2025 winter tastings are priced at £28 per person. Feel free to arrive before 6:30pm to enjoy a drink in our covered terrace seating area.

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"
