点评:Combined our vineyard visit with a trip on the Spa Valley railway in Tunbridge Wells. The combination was perfect! The vineyard is small and not as commercial as others we’ve visited. That’s not a negative- it’s absolutely charming and we were beautifully looked after by the owners and their families. Because of this, everything is really personal and the owner, when he talks about his vines, is truly speaking from the heart. We tasted 3 different home grown wines and paid extra for a glass of their fizz (fab) and shared a delicious cheese platter. Suffice to say the wine is so good that we bought as much to take home as we could carry, with promises to order more for Christmas.
If you’re thinking about visiting, the walk to the vineyard is quite steep and rutted. Fine for me (and I’m not especially fit) but if you have walking difficulties or have pushchairs etc the accessibility might be tricky. Vineyards are effectively grape farms - so the site itself is also sloped.
Overall, I can’t recommend this trip highly enough - especially when combined with the train. If you can, definitely think about visiting!
翻译:将我们的葡萄园之旅与在通布里奇韦尔斯的 Spa Valley 铁路之旅结合起来。这种组合真是完美!这个葡萄园很小,不像我们去过的其他葡萄园那么商业化。这不是缺点——它绝对迷人,主人和他们的家人把我们照顾得很好。正因为如此,一切都非常私人化,主人在谈论他的葡萄藤时,真的是发自内心的。我们品尝了 3 种不同的自产葡萄酒,还额外付了一杯他们的起泡酒(很棒),并分享了一个美味的奶酪拼盘。可以说,葡萄酒非常好,我们买了尽可能多的带回家,并承诺圣诞节再订一些。
如果你想去参观,去葡萄园的路很陡峭,坑坑洼洼。对我来说没问题(我身体不是特别好),但如果你走路困难或有婴儿车等,去那里可能会有点困难。葡萄园实际上是葡萄农场——所以场地本身也是倾斜的。
总的来说,我强烈推荐这次旅行——尤其是和火车一起的时候。如果可以的话,一定要考虑去看看!
