点评:Went here for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. The staff were friendly and the tour guide was excellent and very clear and informative and passionate about his wine. Not too much walking which was nice and after seeing the distillery the wine tasting took place upstairs in the barn, for which we tasted 3 still and 3 sparkling wines. The sparkling wines are recommended, the stills we tried weren't quite to my taste except for the Rose which was nice. It would have been nice to have a jug of water on each table to cleanse the palate after each tasting.
We had a buffet style ploughmans lunch which was nice and lunches normally come with a drink, but this one didn't you had to buy the wine, so again it would have been nice to have some water on the table.
Overall the tour was very good and informative and we did buy a box of sparkling that was on offer and feel was good value.
This is a family run farm so the driveway and the buildings are old and run down so don't expect Chapel Down or Gusbourne Estate, but the vines here were very green with lots of fruit and looked very healthy and you can see everyone works very hard here, so look at it at a glimpse of few hours of a small working farm, not a large commercial winery as others are, which in my view made our visit feel more personal.
翻译:我们来这里庆祝结婚23周年。工作人员很友好,导游也很出色,讲解清晰,知识渊博,而且对葡萄酒充满热情。路程不长,这点很不错。参观完酿酒厂后,我们在楼上的谷仓里参加了品酒会,品尝了3种静止葡萄酒和3种起泡葡萄酒。起泡葡萄酒值得推荐,我们尝试的静止葡萄酒除了桃红葡萄酒不错外,其他都不太合我的口味。如果每张桌子上都放一壶水,每次品酒后都能清口,那就太好了。
我们吃了一顿自助式的农夫午餐,很不错。午餐通常都包含饮料,但这次没有,你需要自己买酒,所以如果桌子上有一些水就更好了。
总的来说,这次旅行非常棒,知识丰富,我们还买了一盒特价起泡酒,感觉很划算。
这是一个家庭经营的农场,所以车道和建筑物都很旧,破败不堪,所以不要期待 Chapel Down 或 Gusbourne Estate,但这里的葡萄藤非常绿,果实累累,看起来很健康,你可以看到每个人都在这里努力工作,所以看一眼这个小型农场的几个小时,而不是像其他大型商业酿酒厂那样,在我看来,这让我们的访问感觉更个性化。
