Wine Tasting & Tour FAQs


What time of year do your tours run?

The main season for our wine tasting tours runs from February to October, with some limited dates available during winter. To experience the vineyard during harvest season, late summer and early autumn provide fantastic opportunities.

How much wine will I be served on a tour?

Typically, you can expect to drink the equivalent of half a bottle of wine on one of our tours. This is an approximation, however, as we do free-pour.

Are unique dietary requirements catered for?

We are dedicated to providing wine tasting experiences that are as accessible as possible. If you have specific dietary requirements, please contact us ahead of time with details and we will do our best to accommodate them. You can call us on 01444881575 or email events@bolneywineestate.com.

Where can I buy your wine?

Our estate has a cellar door shop stocking fresh local produce as well as our full portfolio of award-winning English wines. It’s the perfect place for gift inspiration or for getting a treat for yourself. You can also view our full range and buy online.
