Fantastic day visiting 3 lovely wineries, each excellent in their own way. Brian, the guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. Being on a small tour made being by myself easier as people mingled.

Had a brilliant time on this tour. Given that I'm not really a wine drinker it was really nice to experience UK and local wines. Also to learn about the processes and concerns regarding producing wine in the UK. Really informative. My wife who is a wine drinker also really enjoyed it. Justin the tour guide was an excellent host and guide. Nice picnic lunch also.

Great experience for beginners through to wine connoisseurs. Justin is very knowledgeable and a friendly host.

A comfortable, well organised day that was both interesting and very enjoyable. The knowledgeable and entertaining host, Martin, made the journey to the first vineyard fly by with his history of English wine and other anecdotes. The tastings were very well tutored but also very light hearted and we were able to explore a wide variety of English wine. We were lucky with the weather and an excellent pick-nick lunch under the trees at Chapel Down was delightful.

We had a great tour, visiting a small producer, a large producer and a boutique estate with Justin. All of the wines we tasted were very good. Justin was great fun and very knowledgeable, teaching us a lot about English wine and the areas we visited. Nicola and Justin produced a lovely picnic for us at lunch which was tailored to our dietary requirements. I've recommended the tour to a few friends already.

My mum and I enjoyed a splendid day with Justin and Nicola and 16 other folk interested in tasting English wines. Justin’s potted history of English wine needs to become a Ted talk. Just brilliant. 14 wines tasted across Charles Palmer, Chapel Down and Woodchurch vineyards. A delicious and generous picnic lunch (special mention for Nicolas home made quiche made with her hens eggs). A joyous and informative day out. Much care taken to deliver a lovely unrushed experience that can be enjoyed just as much by those who know about wine as those who don’t. Highly recommend.

We were planning a trip of just over a week to London and in searching for day excursions we came across wine tasting tours. We were intrigued as we had no prior knowledge of any wine industry in England. We had a lovely day trip out to wine country. Justin, our guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging and willing to answer our many questions. He has clearly worked hard to establish a rapport with the wineries we visited. There were three unique wineries that welcomed us and a classic pub lunch in between visits. Although the wine industry there is still young and growing, we were pleasantly impressed by the quality of the wines we tasted, especially some of the sparkling wines. It was overall a very enjoyable day. Justin mentioned that he also does gin tours and wine and cheese tasting tours, so we're hoping to be able to return someday to try one of these.

Justin was a great tour guide. We rode with him from London and chatted the entire ride to and fro. He has a wealth of knowledge about wine and the region. The wineries were great. All the hosts/ pourers were very nice. There was no pressure to buy bottles which was good since traveling with wine is difficult. The tour provides different size and types of wines (red, white, sparkling) and wineries (large and small). I really recommend this tour!

Great tour, very good wine & food. Justin was very informative and made the tour fun. I learned a lot about english wineries. A must do 😎

I took my mum, with my sister, for her retirement present. We had a lovely day- Justin was a great tour guide, very friendly and approachable. The lunch was simple but lovely and the wine tastings and welcome at each vineyard was great and there was no pressure to buy products. We really enjoyed our day and would do it again!
