At Court Gardens Farm, walk among the vines, see the winery, sample at least four sparkling wines, and enjoy a local picnic hamper. The second estate offers still and sparkling wines, grounds to explore, and a shop.

“It must’ve been the hottest day of the year so far, but we were well looked after. Shade was on offer from the trees for the vineyard visit at Court Garden & also for the very acceptable lunch on offer. The homemade quiche, pates & cakes were delicious as were the many different wines on offer to sample. The talks from the wine experts were informative, friendly and unpretentious. Bluebell vineyard was also very welcoming with a variety of wines, still & sparkling on offer to taste. Because of the heat we were under cover sat in a barn mostly, which was a little restricting but understandable considering the circumstances.…”
