Afternoon Tea at Tinwood
Begin your visit with complimentary tea and coffee before joining us for a guided vineyard tour, where you’ll discover the story behind Tinwood and learn how our award-winning sparkling wines are crafted.
After exploring the vines, settle into our tasting room to enjoy a guided tasting of our three sparkling wines, followed by a traditional Afternoon Tea featuring a delicious selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, homemade cakes, and warm scones.
Vineyard Tours and Wine Tastings
For those looking to discover more about life at the vineyard, our guided Tours & Tastings offer the perfect introduction to Tinwood Estate. Led by one of our knowledgeable hosts, each experience takes you on a relaxed walk through the vines, where you’ll learn about the history of the estate, the journey from grape to glass, and the methods we use to craft our award-winning English sparkling wines. Along the way, you’ll gain an insight into the vineyard’s seasonal rhythms, from pruning in winter to harvest in autumn, and discover what makes the South Downs such a special location for sparkling wine production.
After the tour, guests are invited into our tasting room (or outside decking, depending on the weather) to enjoy a guided tasting of our three signature sparkling wines. It’s a wonderfully relaxed and informative experience that can be enjoyed on its own or combined with some food pairings from our Vineyard Kitchen for the ultimate Tinwood day out.
