There’s no better way to explore one of rural Sussex’ oldest vineyards than with an expert guide. Learning all about the farm’s history, how its winemaking processes have evolved and walking through the vineyards that grow the grapes for award-winning wine is a wonderful way to relax and indulge your senses. Following this up with a tasting and a marvellous mezze platter and dessert in a sublime setting is the cherry on top.
Bolney Wine Estate celebrated 50 years of winemaking in 2022, and what an impressive 50 years it’s been! When you embark on your vineyard tour you’ll walk amongst the vines that have played an integral role in making award-winning wine. In 1973, the first 1000 vines were planted by Janet and Rodney Pratt, making the then-named Bookers Vineyard the 6th commercial vineyard in the whole of England. In the 1980s more experimental vines were planted, and in the 1990s, the Pratt’s daughter Sam Linter joined the family business. In the years that followed, more vines and more wine have been made, and Bolney has cemented itself into the breathtakingly beautiful landscape.Learning about the farm’s history and its winemaking process couldn’t be enjoyed anywhere more picturesque, and even those who are not avid oenophiles will love soaking up the sights, smelling the unique aromas of the vineyards and learning more about the red, white, rosé and sparkling wine that the farm produces.Following the tour is a chance to sample five of the best wines made on the estate and to be guided through each sip by a local expert. To complement the tasting a mezze platter loaded with seasonal fare. After you’ve quaffed your wine and snacked on the platter, the whole experience is rounded off with a decadent dessert.The quintessential wine tour and tasting, this outing is a wonderful way to spoil a wine lover (or yourself) or to enjoy a day out with friends or family. Don’t miss enjoying the fruits of the vine in a corner of rural Sussex that begs to be explored.
