When is the Main Tour Season?

Our tours run all year long and our peak times are February to October. Late summer is a fantastic time to visit, around the grape harvest.

How Much Wine is Served on a Typical Tour?

Usually, you can expect to taste the equivalent of about ½ a bottle of wine. This is an approximate measurement as we do free-pour. We do of course provide spitoons for people who just want to taste our wine without having to drink it all.

Can You Cater for Different Dietary Requirements?

We always want to provide an accessible wine tasting experience for all needs. Please tell us in advance of a tour what your requirements are and we will do our best to meet them. Call us on 01444881575 or email events@bolneywineestate.com.

Do You Sell Your Wine on the Estate?

Yes! We have a well-stocked cellar door shop with our full portfolio of award-winning wines that you can buy by the bottle or case. We also sell local produce in the shop. You can browse our full range and buy online, too.
