Mobile ticket
Our wine tour is a social, down to earth and laid back trip that offers great wines, gin, cider and more..and we have a laugh doing it!
We'll pick you up in the morning and focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting!
Our itinerary has been crafted over the many years to give everyone choice throughout the day. This is done by selecting venues that are very close to other types of venues so you get as much control and choice as possible.
Generally we go to 2 Wineries (one of which also does cider), then lunch at your expense, then onto your choice of a Gin distillery, A brewery or a winery and finally your choice of a chocolate tasting or another winery. Cheese is also available
We don't include lunch in the price, so we go to a restaurant (Quarters or Chandon) where you can order/pay what you want to eat/drink.
We use a 24 seater bus but generally fill 15-22 seats.

5.00Matt was an amazing tour guide who genuinely seems to love his job and meeting new people. The tour had a very laid-back vibe with great stops and a fun mix of wine, gin, and chocolate throughout the day. We also met some great people on the tour, which made the experience even better. The collaborative playlist on the bus was a really fun addition and helped make the day feel even more social. Overall, it was such a great day and I’d definitely recommend this tour!

5.00Everything was great from start to finish. We actually had to change date and even that wasn’t a problem. So that’s a massive tick. We turned up and met Matt who was our guide for the day. He couldn’t have been more welcoming and as we went along, it was clear he was top of his game. His driving and his knowledge of the vineyards and restaurant was excellent. He even kept us going with his music choices which were outstanding, including oasis, Sam Fender, and men at work. During the day everybody seemed to get along and mixed with each other and it was a very good experience for everybody. We finish off the day with a trip to a chocolate and ice cream factory which was excellent as well. The ice cream is huge. The final thanks to Matt who was excellent throughout the day and got us there and got us back without any issues at all. A top guide.
Great trip. Good variety...
