Join us on one of our tours and learn about the world of English wine. Our tours are friendly, informal and informative and will give you an insight in the world of wine-making and the chance to try a range of our multi-award winning wines.
Our tours run year round however timetables vary seasonally. Please note that ALL tours must be pre-booked via our website, we do not have any walk-in tours. Our tours are for over 18s only and I’m afraid we don’t allow dogs on our classic and sparkling tours.
We also have a programme of events throughout the year such as Fizz & Chips evenings with the award winning Simpson’s Fish & Chips, Sparkling Wine Tastings with Afternoon Tea or our vineyard tour and dog walk. To find out more about our events or to book, please click here

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What procedures do you have in place regarding current Government guidelines relating to Covid-19?
- We have reduced the capacity on our tours and increased the size of our tasting room to allow us to adhere to social distancing guidelines throughout the tour. Hand sanitising stations have been provided throughout the tasting room and we ask that you sanitise your hands on entry. We will be asking all guests to confirm that they are not experiencing any of the Covid-19 symptons before we start the tour, and collecting one set of contact details per household to comply with the Government Track & Trace guidelines. Please bring your mask or face covering as you will need to wear this whilst you are in the winery. The tour guide will brief everyone at the start of the tour to any procedures that need to be followed and direct you during the tour. Please read through our Covid-19 updates here before coming on the tour where we will have the latest up to date information.
- If you are experiencing any Covid-19 symptons then please do not come to your tour – we will happily reschedule free of charge or refund you in full if this is the case.
- Please DO NOT bring any guests with you who have not been booked on the tour in advance. With reduced capacity our tours are booking up quickly and if guests who are not booked arrive to a fully booked tour we will have to refuse entry to ensure we can continue to comply with Government Covid guidelines. If you have a guest who you’d like to add to your booking, please give us a call to check if there is space.
How do I get to you?
- Once we have received your reservation and payment has been processed, you will receive an email with detailed directions on how to find us. If you do not receive this, please check your spam inbox, or contact us if you haven’t received it.
Are children allowed on the tours?
- Unfortunately our vineyard tours are not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.
Can I bring my dog?
- Unfortunately we cannot have dogs on our regular vineyard and winery tours. We do offer our popular vineyard tour and dog walk at certain time of the year where we welcome dogs of all ages and sizes so please consider booking one of these.
Is there a taxi firm I can contact to book a ride back?
