Fantastic day out exploring the English vines!

Wonderful and extremely informative tour! We were lucked up at London Bridge, very comfortable minibus ride down to Kent, and visited 3 wineries. Our host Justin was very knowledgeable about English wines and we learnt a lot. Picnic lunch was fresh and tasty, with dietary requirements catered to with ease.
Wines were high quality and interesting, and we even got to meet one of the wine makers himself!
Best wine tour ever!

We booked this wine tour Just before the pandemic so unfortunately we were unable to go until this September 21 but throughout this time Nicola kept in touch with us and as soon as the wine tours were back operating Nicola offered us this first date back. From start to finish the day was wonderfully organised, the coach was perfectly on time, new modern and impeccably clean and it was easy to find the pick up location near London Bridge. We all had a lovely hessian bag each with water and crisps to keep. We visited three vine yards and had a perfect picnic at our second which was just delicious. All the wines offered for tasting were delicious and driving through the Kent countryside was perfect - it’s true what they say Kent really is the garden of England. Martin our tour guide was funny, knew virtually everything about English wines and was a super host with great stories about the locations vine yards and grapes. We had a super day and fantastic value for the price - go! You won’t regret it!
Best wine tour!

The wine tour was absolutely perfect! Justin was so knowledgeable and friendly, and took us to some lovely vineyards with great wine - and cheese! At no point did we feel rushed, Justin let us enjoy it as much as we wanted for as long as we wanted, and honestly couldn't fault the trip one bit! Thank you so much, we had such a good time!

We really enjoyed this day out and would highly recommend! It was a fun trip, where we visited three vinerys and sampled 13 wines - very good value for money! It was bad weather on the day but the staff made all necessary arrangements to make us feel comfortable, everyone was friendly and highly knowledgeable. There were some very tasty wines and a lunch which was healthy and complimented the wines. We would definitely do this trip or a similar trip from the same company again!
