What a Great Day!

👏We’ve finished Harvesting for 2026!

Ben is incredibly grateful for the huge number of Volunteers who turn up every week at short notice to help us harvest and we can’t quite believe we’ve done it so quickly this Year! Thank You!

🍇Over 16 Tonnes of Grapes have been picked. What a fantastic year for growing grapes!

We have battled with our Bacchus grapes in previous years, as they can be very prone to diseases, but this year Ben & the Vineyard Team feel like they’ve finally achieved a miracle as our Bacchus grapes were amazing! We can’t wait until next year to try the Wines we’ll be making from these beautiful grapes.

So hats off everyone, it’s been a spectacular couple of weeks in the Vines and everyone is now enjoying the Feast!

🍇 A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful volunteers! 🍇

We are so grateful to everyone who came along today and helped us harvest the grapes. Your time, energy, hard work and good spirits made the day truly special. We hope you enjoyed the harvest, the laughter, the company — and, of course, the Feast! 🍷🍇

Our Vineyard simply wouldn’t be the same without the incredible people who come together to make these moments happen.

Thank you for being part of our harvest family. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

ART DAY - It’s all looking lovely and cosy in the Barrel Room here for Today’s “ART in the VINES” Experience where you sip Wine & Paint with our in-house Artist.

Sienna was asked to host Today’s Private “ART in the VINES” Experience for a lovely group of Ladies wanting a Fun Day out together.

We’ve certainly hosted this Experience in many different areas of the Estate including our new Greenhouse in the Orchard over the Summer when it became a Glass Box Art Studio for the day.

It’s always a popular event because it’s something completely different to our other Experiences - but don’t worry it still involves tasting our Wines!!

There’s also a delicious Feast for the ART group to enjoy along the way.

If you’d like to join one of our ART in the VINES Experiences in 2027, then head over to our Web site to Book (You’ll find all the new 2027 dates under Events).

Some people have busy buying Vouchers for these Events already as Christmas Gifts because we send out the Gift Voucher beautifully wrapped in a lovely Gift Box.

It’s a wonderful way to immerse yourself and your Friends & Family in a world of creativity whilst enjoying great Food & Wine.

Our unique Garden Tours with our Horticultural Team have become incredibly popular. It’s a great way to see how we do things here behind the scenes!

Maybe it’s something to do with the fabulous Feast served afterwards in our Kitchen Garden Safari Hut surrounded by all of our raised Vegetable Beds so you can enjoy the view of all the fresh produce we’re growing for The Motley Cru Restaurant. On cooler days we serve the Garden Feast in The Cooperage right next to the Kitchen Garden.

It’s a delicious Plant based Feast sourced from everything we are growing in our Kitchen Garden & Herb Garden.

The Horticultural Team give you a really fun and very comprehensive Tour of the Estate showing you the vast amount of Planting projects here.

And afterwards…. Well just look at the beautiful Platter being served Today - all freshly prepared by Meg in The Cooperage & harvested by Anna & the Team (Anna pictured here harvesting earlier Today). So what’s on the Kitchen Garden Platter:

* Kale Crisps (love these!)
* Heritage Tomato Salad (Have you seen our incredible Tomatoes we’ve grown this Year?)
* Vietnamese Rolls filled with Cucumber, Courgette, Coriander Marigold & Radish with a sweet Dipping sauce (can’t get enough of these!)
* Tempura Courgettes with Nasturtium Mayo (There’s always a fight for these).
* Home made Flat Bread (Scrumptious)
* Pickled Garden Veg Sushi with Horseradish Mayo (We love Meg’s Sushi)
* Slow roasted Carrot Hummus with Sesame & Pumpkin seeds (Super healthy).
* Beetroot Dip with a Greek Basil Sauce (our Greek Basil smells incredible).

If you would like to join one of our Garden Tours - “VINE WALKS Garden Tours”, then email us at [email protected] OR Book On-Line through our Web Site (just select Events and scroll down to Garden Tour) and we’ll also pop a link in our stories. It’s a very unique Experience here at the Estate and a fabulous way to try our Wines!

We also have a large Walking Group coming in and they always create quite a buzz about the place with their excited chatter.

For those joining us for Lunch Today - then Fresh off the Boat this morning is a fabulous whole Seabass on the Menu and an amazing Seafood Linguine (this really is a Seafood Feast).

Then there’s our usual Menu of Seasonal Dishes. If you were here at our “Sundowners Festival” over the Weekend, then you’ll know how good the Food is that our Chefs create. The Harvest Volunteers are in for a Treat Today!!
