This was our first visit to an English winery and our first tasting of English still wines so…read morenaturally were very excited to see and try them. The winery is located in a beautiful countryside town and/or is also just 15 minutes away from the train station. Upon arrival, you see the vineyards and cute tasting room. Chris and David, owners, meet you and take you in a tour and taste you through their wines. The three still wines they are serving are stunning, well structured, aromatic wines that you can drink, pair food with or age. They also pour some of their neighbors' sparkling wines, all of which are also top notch. The winery, vineyard, tasting room and owners are top notch and a must visit. You will not be let down.

On weekdays they do happy hour from 5-7 pm and their cocktails and wines are really cheap during this. We ordered an Aperol Spritz first and then moved on to white wine which all tasted good. We got the tempura courgettes, courgette and goat's cheese croquetas and the sweet potato fries which were all very good. Only negative thing was that they added a 12.5% service charge. So even if you go for just one glass of wine keep that in mind!

We've been fans of the wine for awhile (their Pinot Reserve sparkling is delicious), and we needed to get some of their Flint Dry (and by some, I mean a lot) for a big celebration we had coming up. After driving through the countryside of Kent and through some small villages nearby, you will finally arrive at the Vineyard. It's not close to the motorway, just be prepared, but you do get to see the lovely scenic Kent countryside so that's a bonus. When you arrive, you're allowed three complimentary tastes of their wines or beers (although I'm not sure how hard and fast that rule is given we tried a few more than that). I can recommend many of their sparklings, whites and beers, but their reds aren't for me. Then if you want to buy some to take home, they offer 10% a purchase of 12 or more. There's also a huge food area to buy goodies from chocolates to jams and even savory spreads (like bacon jam!). After shopping (or even before) you can wander around the vineyard and see the grapes. We did a small walk through, but given the heat of the day, we mostly found a shaded spot in the grass and sat around chatting. There's even a restaurant if you desire a place to eat, or you can pick up cheese and biscuits from inside the shop and eat in the picnic area. It's a gorgeous place to spend a sunny Saturday.

Prior to our trip, we were looking for wineries to visit and found Chapel Down. We found them and…read moretheir wines interesting. They have a great location and encourage picnics with a bottle of their wine. We walked a bit in the vineyards before heading in for a tasting. We drink sparkling wine every weekend so the fact that they produced several was a huge draw. We really enjoyed them and they make the perfect bubbly to bring to any gathering. Crisp, clean and refreshing...the ideal accompaniment for sushi or charcuterie. Not huge fans of the whites, but their sparkling is a tremendous value and should be enjoyed weekly!

Richard was totally clutch on our visit, offering great suggestions, and we really loved the primotivo wine that he recommended.

My mom had the omelette which was bursting of mushroom flavor and the salad was a nice touch on the side. The atmosphere is great. The ambience is amazing since you're sitting in Leadenhall.

The settings are absolutely beautiful and the staff and owners really friendly. The wine is excellent as the soil is such good quality in this area. The Chardonnay grapes are as good as on the continent as is the Pinot Noir. The wine is available directly from the shop (discounts for bigger orders). They also host weddings here and its an ideal and original place to do so in my book!

Her knowledge on…read morethe subject of viticulture is excellent and she is all too happy to take question after question, even if it means over-running the session, to the mild irritation of Paul her other half! The cream teas they provide on arrival are spot-on, and the perfect start to the tour. As to the quality of the wine, well the UK are a long way behind the best in Europe of course, and each wine will suit one person's palate and not another, but Aly's wines are made with infectious enthusiasm, she tends to her vines with the care you might expect someone would only afford rare flowers.. pruning each vine personally and almost single-handedly (all 8 acres of it!) I would recommend this tour without a moment's hesitation. For their sheer endeavour Aly and Paul deserve every bit of success that (hopefully) comes their way, and I wish them the very best of luck..

Having tried 4 of the wines, I can say that their Surrey Gold was the best but still a far cry from other country's wines. They have one red that is drinkable only with food and quite a slim selection of others. I didn't try their award winning sparkling wine so that may be it's saving grace. Come here for a nice day in the country but be prepared to be bored with the wine tour and tasting. This was agreed by the majority of our group. Definitely only worth doing once.
