A great couple of hours spent at Hawkstone Brewery hearing about how all the different lagers are produced. Frank the tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend although it's best if you can stay nearby to get a taxi there as there was plenty of samples to try.

An extremely professional, informative and well-organised experience. Highly recommended

We both enjoyed tour and beer

Very informative tour, good fun, lots to taste!

We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

Decent serving of 6 beers to try, nice food and staff were excellent and very friendly. Would recommend this if your just having a catch-up with a friend something a little bit different to just going for a burger and a pint (and it's actually 2 pints so don't drive and enjoy)

Although the actual tour was cancelled due to illness we still had the wine tasting. We were given a talk about the different grapes they use and how the wine is made. During the talk, by a very knowlegable gentleman, we were given a glass of sparkling rose wine then we had the tasting, a dry rose, a white and a red. They were very nice. We had a very nice time.

Knowledgeable and engaging guide. Great beers, great atmosphere, my wife and I loved it.

I joined the bird and blend tea workshop with my friend and it was a great experience! The lead had lots of knowledge in the teas we tasted and everyone was lovely. It was a great way to start the day off! I highly recommend:)

Fantastic experience, from the knowledge of our guide, the tasting experience, location etc. Would highly recommend

An interesting talk about the vineyard history followed by a wine tasting session was very good. The guide, one of the owners, was very informative and friendly. The afternoon tea that followed was very nice.

Our tour was led by Tom who is extremely knowledgeable and very engaging. The whole experience was first class with Chapeldown wines coupled with delicious English cheese.
