What is included in a vineyard tour price?
A guided tour is usually led by someone who works at the vineyard. They take you around the vines and, if the vineyard has one, its winery, explaining how the grapes are grown and the wine is made, and what makes that vineyard special. Most finish with a tasting, which ranges from four wines at Quoit at Cross to five at Brightwell's Winemaker Tour, and tours last from 40 minutes to two hours. A self-guided visit is different: you walk the vineyard at your own pace, and a tasting may cost extra. Some vineyards allow dogs on a lead, such as Quoit at Cross, but not all do, and Lily Farm does not. Confirm what is included on the vineyard's own website.
When do vineyard tours run?
Most of the tours in this guide are seasonal. Quoit at Cross, Lily Farm, Pant Du and Brightwell run from spring or summer into September, while Bluestone's self-guided tour runs all year. Beacon Down runs its tours on Fridays and Saturdays. Check each vineyard's page for dates before you set off.
