Service Description

The Vineyard has been uniquely landscaped into a series of “Avenues”, “Drives” and wide “Alleyways” full of hundreds of different Plants all with a specific purpose. First and foremost to create colour and vibrancy in what would otherwise be a vast green “Sea of Vines”. Wild Grasses have been planted to create a strong visual appeal and “movement” throughout the Vineyard as they sway in the breeze. Many of our Botanicals are picked daily and used by our Chefs in the Vineyard Kitchen. Beautiful “Companion Plants” are growing to increase the yield of our grapevines. Botanicals are growing to be distilled and used in the making of our unique Artisan Gins. Insect repellant plants are growing to help prevent disease in the Vines. A giant Bug Hotel provides a safe haven for all the beneficial insects. Rows and rows of Lavenders and Verbena provide a haven for Bees & Butterflies and a stunningly beautiful purple vista. You will also find some show stoppers that won “Plant of the Year” at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023 - Agapanthus “Black Jack” a truly stunning plant native to South Africa along with hundreds of purple Alliums (always a Chelsea favourite) and the beautiful Iris “Benton Olive” to transport you to a Mediterranean Landscape. Our very talented Team of Horticulturists work incredibly hard all year round to nurture all of our Plants and they will guide you through an hour long Tour of everything that is growing here. We are of course a Wine Estate and so naturally any Tour involves the Tasting of our Wines which doesn’t usually happen on a Garden Tour!! So after your Tour we invite you to enjoy an incredible Plant-Based Feast that our Chefs have prepared for you, served in our newest Safari Hut in “The Vineyard Kitchen Garden“ situated amongst the raised Beds growing all of the Estate’s fresh produce. Enjoy a Wine Tasting over Lunch with one of our fun Wine Hosts who will serve our new season wines.
