Really enjoyed our vineyard tour and wine tasting at Chapel Down with tour guide Martin. His expert commentary and good hearted responses to our questions made our visit to such a lovely site most enjoyable. We were gently and quietly organised by the team without being made to feel we were on a conveyor belt. The wine was rather nice too! Would recommend.

Like many on our tour, this is obviously a popular gift experience, Martin a great informative guy. A lot to learn about assessing wines , have been to wine tastings before but the structure of this was excellent. The wines are good. Obviously the exit through the shop is a merchandising experience!!, quite pricey its good to see a UK endeavor actually succeeding. With the accommodation close by it was a very enjoyable experience.

Just wanted to give a big thank you to our guide, Mike. He was great! Really knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. A held our interest through the tour. We did the tour and tasting / excellent way to do it as you get to see the vines and taste that particular grape… excellent. Thank you. We were at Chapel Down Sat 16th Sept.

A very informative tour, full of interest and topped off by being able to taste these splendid British wines. It would have been made more enjoyable if concessions had been made for the age of our group, many over 70 who found standing for long periods difficult. Maybe a seated talk at the start followed by the tour or even a few seats made available around the venue would have been appreciated

We took a train from Harrow on the Hill to Charing Cross Station, where we caught a train to Headcorn in the beautiful Kent countryside. From there, we took an Uber to Chapel Down winery, which is England’s leading wine producer, specialising in sparkling wines. We went on an extremely informative guided tour of the vineyard and the winery and were then treated to a tutored tasting and a fabulous set menu lunch. We bought two bottles of the 2018 Grand Reserve sparkling wines as gifts. A great experience and highly recommended.

Interesting tour around the vineyard. Some interesting facts about how a still wine becomes sparkling. Very informative staff. Tasting = 5 wines. All very nice but a little too dry for my taste. Cheapest wine starts at £16 the best on offer equal to a champagne was £42. Good way to pass a couple of hours

Visited as part of a wine tour with a party of friends. Good tour of the vineyard although it seemed a little rushed compared to other vineyards we visited. Guide gave lots of information about the processes for wine making although we were unable to view the processes as harvest was underway. We were taken to part of the vineyard which had already been picked so this wasn't particularly useful. the tutored wine tasting was excellent and we had the opportunity to taste some top quality sparkling wines produced by the company. Sadly the guide just referred to the notes from the winemaker rather than his own knowledge which we had experienced at another vineyard. Wines were very expensive but would be ideal for a special occasion.

Best weekend for some time. Booked for the deluxe tour. Vouchers purchased for birthday. Booked it several months in advance. Good time to go is mid/late September. Stayed overnight 6 miles away. Good comms, got there for 1115 to meet at 1130. Tea b4 we set off. Andrew was our guide. He was just brilliant. Very funny and knowledgable. After one hour tour, off to the sample room. More fun and knowledge gathering. Then upstairs for a 3 course meal and more wine. Quality of the food and service was 5 star hotel standard. Into to the shop to spend more money. tea to end siting outside as weather was nice, taxi took us home at 1715. Have recommended to loads and will go back with others next year. Might even invest.

Christmas present from our son. Tour of vineyard/winery and tutored wine tasting Great activity for an October Saturday Sun shinning and rain stayed off. Really interesting tour with fabulous and knowledgeable guide Russell. Thank you so much Learnt quite a bit about development of wine industry in England Wine Tasting great. Again knowledgeable with a great sense of humour Will be back with family to dine at restaurant which looked lovely and is onsite

We did the Deluxe Winery experience. Freddie took us on the tour, explained all about Chapel Down and the local history of winemaking. Freddie talked all about the production process as we saw the vines in the fields, we looked at the vast storage tanks and then went into a barn area. The tasting after this was good. Freddie has a great personality for explaining the tasting process and the specifics about each wine. Following the tasting we had a 3-course set menu lunch with accompanying Chapel Down wines. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
