Despite not knowing what to expect, we really enjoyed ourselves. The wine was fantastic, the service was friendly and professional, and the tour guide was as bubbly as the sparkling wine! I imagine they make a killing on the extra food you can have with the wine tasting, although you don’t feel like you’re being cheated as it’s completely at your discretion and the food is delicious.

Why haven't you been yet? This place is incredible. Firstly, the wine is on-point. I literally couldn't pick a favourite from the 3 types of Sussex sparkling they do (I think it would really depend what you were eating) I am actually very champagne fussy but these were up there with the best. Secondly, the Tour and Tasting was excellent, a special mention to Amy who spoke eloquently and passionately about what they do here. The tour isn't too long but very informative. The tasting is not rushed (and you get to drink 3 glasses, not just taste!), which makes it excellent value for money. I also had the luxury of staying the night in one of their lodges thanks to my husband gifting me for our 10 year wedding anniversary (tin; but would also work for a 5 year anniversary - wood). The lodge was beautiful, and attention to detail made it extra special. Despite there being 8 lodges, it feels very private. The breakfast that was sent in the morning, a discreet little knock telling you it's arrived, was fantastic and so very much more than just a few pastries. Lastly, the tapas from the Vinyard Kitchen were exceptional. Honestly, well done to the family for what they have created, a very intimate and unique experience. I will be recommending to anyone who will listen.

An incredible stay - we booked it very last minute to celebrate our anniversary. The lodge was stunning, completely private, with the most amazing views over the vineyard. We had the best evening enjoying tapas and wine on the terrace, going for a sunset bike ride, and relaxing on our private sundeck. In the morning, a fresh and warm breakfast delivery that was FULL of goodies and set us up for the day. All of the staff we’re lovely and I can’t recommend a stay here enough!

Loved staying here overnight, very relaxing overlooking the vines. The lodge was amazing, very spacious and comfortable with a great bathroom. Stunning views across the vines and countryside. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We did the wine tasting and lunch which was very enjoyable. Great idea to combine with the tapas style lunch whilst tasing the sparkling wines. The food was delicious. Finally, the bikes were a nice touch to explore the vineyard or visit the nearby pub for an evening meal.
