For those seeking a hands-on, nature-filled experience, Tinwood invites guests to join the Harvest Experience—a truly immersive day of grape picking, rustic feasting, and sparkling wine tasting.
Guests will begin the day with tea, coffee, and pastries, followed by a harvest introduction from vineyard owner Art Tukker. Participants will hand-pick grapes used in Tinwood’s 2025 vintage wine, followed by a hearty, seasonal lunch in the Tasting Room and a guided tasting of three estate wines.
9AM: Arrive at Tinwood Estate, where Art and Jody, the vineyard owners, will greet you with coffee and cakes. The team begins by explaining the grape-picking process, emphasising that only the finest grapes are selected to craft our delicious sparkling wines. We hand-pick all grapes to ensure the highest wine quality.
9:30AM: Start working alongside our experienced vineyard team for 2 hours. Working closely with the team allows you to ask questions and discover the inner workings of the vineyard. In these 2 hours, you will harvest one of our three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier.
12.00PM: Enjoy a three-course rustic Harvest lunch. Each course is thoughtfully paired with a different glass of our three sparkling wines. Relax, and rejuvenate with a glass of wine overlooking the vines.
2PM: We finish the experience
