La Mare Wine Estate

We did the premium tour, john was very knowledgeable and witty. Wine was good. The location was wonderful, a beautiful meadow field, vineyard, playground, cornhole for all ages, and great outdoor seating. Restaurant was superb with lovely food with great prices. They offer a happy hour for their bronchage cider 2.50 a pint or 1.25 1/2 pint, which is unbeatable prices. The gift shop was nice and offered some free samples. Recommendations: for the premium tour, the step up from standard and premium didn't feel much different from the standard offering would rather pay an extra bump on the premium tour to make it feel more special like a lunch with wine pairings or afternoon tea. Bar staff needs a little reminder, as we bought lucky last, which should be shaken before opening, which did not happen, so all the sediment was at the bottom, which took away from the wine itself. Other than that lovely place recommend.

A very informative tour followed by some tasting. Helen was very knowledgable and engaging. We got to meet Roger the resident cockerel and followed the your with a Sunday roast sharing board and their Cider which was yum 😋
