    Arrived early and were offered coffee and biscuits while we waited for the tour to start. The tour was very friendly and informative and carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere and we also learnt all about the art of wine making from start to finish.

    Pleasant countryside location. Interesting and amusing tour guide. Gorgeous supper, wish we hadn't already booked somewhere for dinner because it was delicious and we could easily have eaten more. Very generous wine samples! Staff were helpful and accommodating when we had to amend our booking.

    From start to finish this was an event to be remembered. RLD were first class in every aspect; even the day before our visit they sent me a text wishing us well. Bolney were just as helpful with advice before the day in their very full letter. On the day we found them to be efficient, professional and pleasant. It was an informative tour at a steady pace and we learned a good deal about wine and its production. The tastings were great fun - and the lunch tasty. I would thoroughly recommend this and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

    Lovely Time

    This was really good value for money. The guide was very informative and all of the wines we tasted were delicious. Definitely going to check out more English wines in the future.

    Davina K, 28 May 2011

    This is the first Red Letter Day experience I have been on and it was brilliant. Our host was very knowledgeable and informative and very friendly and accommodating. I have learnt so much about the process behind getting wine from grape to the finished product, and the wines we tasted were lovely so we ended up buying lots!!

    It was a very enjoyable morning full of interesting facts and anecdotes. The 'Tour Guide', a gentleman called Alan, was an excellent raconteur without whom it, possibly, maybe less interesting!

    Wonderful Start To Exploring Poo Bear Country

    Teresa S, 07 May 2011

    We are aiming to explore every county in the british isles and the red letter present from the family prompted sussex. The wine tasting started the holiday and as it would have been a sin and an insult not to build upon the knowledge of our guide wine tasting became the acceptable end to a hard day exploring. Alan would have been proud of the way we savoured every mouthful commenting on the flavours we encountered. Of course practise makes perfect and we have become quite good with this particular vineyards wines. Next step to try out the tips on growing and wine production on our solitary vine at home. Not a gloomy Eore in sight, but perhaps a bear with a very sore head---Perfect!!

    Very Enjoyable And Informative

    I must admit I was wondering what to expect when I arrived, whether it would be me and a bunch of old people (I'm 31!) but there are a really good mix of young and old and it's good to see that wines are appreciated by a younger generation too! The tour was great, a lot of interesting and fascinating information delivered in an easy-to-comprehend style and with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. The wine-tasting itself was a real eye opener, and I learned a lot of useful info from it; it's certainly given me a much greater appreciation of what goes into getting a bottle from the vine to the table. The wines we tasted were absolutely beautiful and I bought half a dozen bottles to take home. I'm also sure I'll be ordering more in future! All in all, this tour is highly recommended if you're into wine, regardless of your level of wine knowledge!
