What to expect

Wine by the glass, bottle, or flight.

When we are open, you can enjoy:

• wine by the glass

• bottles and cases

• a three-wine flight, which is a simple way to try a few wines at your ownpace

• a five-wine hosted tasting flight

We’re always happy to talk you through the wines, but the three-wine flightoption is designed to be relaxed and self-paced rather than a hosted tutorial.

Tours and tastings

Tours and tastings are typically around 90 minutes:

• vineyard tour: about 30 minutes

• tasting: typically 45-60 minutes

We also run longer experiences on selected dates, including extended 11 am tours and our bluebell wood tour.

Spaces to enjoy your visit

We've got a few places to settle in, depending on the weather and what you’ve booked:

• Cellar door: Our undercover serving area in the barn.

• The Logia: our main tasting room space, opening onto a walled farmyard planted with Georgian grape varieties growing up poles andwith outdoor seating for warm days.

• The Calf House: a newly opened enclosed room, originally built as a calf house as part of the stable range and now being brought back intouse as a weatherproof tasting room for the season.

Dogs, children, and groups

Dogs and children

Children are welcome with adults. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, and we just ask visitors to keep dogs under control around livestock and other guests.

A quick note on our own animals:

• Luna (our sheepdog) is often on site. She's a working dog and isn't particularly friendly around visiting dogs, so if you arrive with one we’ll make sure Luna is safely put away.

• Tippie and Carlito (the farm cats) are often around, but they usually make themselves scarce if dogs are visiting.

• On the fields, you can see our flock of Herdwick and Texel sheep. The lambs usually arrive in March. In addition to the ewes and lambs, there are two rams, Billy Flint (a Herdwick) and George (a Blue Texel).

Groups

We welcome groups, including visits through established tour companies. If you're planning a larger group visit please get in touch so we can suggest the best timing and format.

Challenge 25

We operate a Challenge 25 policy. If you're lucky enough to look under 25, we’ll ask for ID. Hosted tastings are for adults aged 18+.

A quick note on photos and reviews

We are careful about photographing guests and sharing identifiable images publicly without permission. You can come for a visit without feeling like you’ve wandered into our content plan.

We always welcome feedback and reviews and are grateful when visitors provide these.
