    First off, we stayed at the cottage (barn conversion) that's next to the vineyard for a couple of nights. Accommodation was fantastic, country but modern, the bottle of wine on arrival was much appreciated. Lots of info and great from comms from Linda even before we started. She even organised one of their picnic boxes (we had the cheese one; most excellent) for us, left in our room ready for an early start. On the last day of our short stay, we had a tour of the vineyard by Gary, who knows his onions - or rather, his grapes. And the UK wine industry. And the European wine industry... Great guy, chatty, very informative, full of information. We ended with a wine tasting of their wines, absolutely great, and left with a few bottles. Thoroughly recommend πŸ‘
