    After a brief welcome with bacon butties, tea and coffee, watch a short surround vision film in the 360 degree cinema which details the steps in the life of the vine and discusses the wine making process. Experience things first-hand as you head into the 265 acre vineyard to be shown the grape picking technique and have a go yourself. Homemade soup and a hearty Ploughman's lunch (cold meats, cheese, pickles, coleslaw, apple, rustic bread, dessert, coffee and Denbies wine or course) follows, after which you will taste a selection of Denbies award-winning wines, with guidance from the in-house wine expert. A detailed behind-the-scenes tour of the working winery concludes your experience and you will be invited to take away your very own vine.
