We arrived by bus number 7. Beautiful peaceful location. Helen was our tour guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. We booked our tickets online. The wine was good. I didn’t enjoy the film part, I prefer a face to face interaction. The setting is gorgeous to have food and drink. I loved the shop, I bought, wine, fudge, black butter, chutney, pink gin and a room diffuser. We had a few complimentary shots in the shop. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It is the only vineyard in Jersey and is an unmissable venue. I love how they are adapting to the changing climate. You can also do a wine flight in the restaurant for £10.00.Spotless, modern toilets with lovely handwashing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Day Out – Beautiful Venue, Great Food, and Wonderful Staff!
We had an absolutely brilliant time visiting La Mare Wine Estate in St. Mary. The grounds are stunning and peaceful, making it the perfect setting to relax and unwind.
The food at the Vineyard Café was fantastic! Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and delicious, from the hearty lunches to the treats. Pairing the meal with a glass of their own locally produced estate wine amidst the vines made it even more special.
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly, polite, and welcoming. They really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and ensure you have a great experience.

We booked tickets in advance online just to make sure we could get in. Very easy to do.
We checked in, I had my ticket ready but they knew my booking as soon as I gave my name which was nice!
Helen who was our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the vineyard, the wines, how they're created even the barrels the wine/brandy etc are all stored in! I was impressed. The tasting hall was impressive. I liked the glass chandeliers (technically plastic but very cool nevertheless)
The tasting while watching the video was very good too and at the end a chocolate tasting cup with an apple brandy liqueur? So good I bought 2 bottles! I'd recommend going and I'd go back next time I visit Jersey!

This was our second visit to La Mare, and it certainly won’t be our last.
The tour was excellent, with Tom as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and a brilliant presenter who brought the history, production process, and the passion behind La Mare to life. He made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. As a fellow watch enthusiast, I also have to say he has excellent taste in watches!
After the tour, we had lunch in The Vineyard, and the food was outstanding. Great quality, beautifully presented, and the perfect way to round off the visit.
A fantastic experience all round. Highly recommended whether it’s your first visit or, like us, you’re returning. We’ll definitely be back.

The Apple Cake: Likely made with La Mare’s own orchard apples, it clearly took the top spot whe I speak about the review of the food but I have to mention that Anna and Jackie have been absolutely brilliant. Thank you Anna. If I could I would have given a 7 ✨ review for not only excelent customer service, excellent customer care, greeted me with a smile, also went above and beyond to allow me to charge my phone battery 🪫 and I wish you'd not refuse a bit of a tip! You all deserve a free slice of that delicious tart. Compliments to the pastry chef. It's absolutely devine! I had to take a bit with me on a napkin bit not for my dog but for me. I will be back! As Arnold used to say and will bring more friends!

We visited La Mare by coincidence en route to Devils Hole, we chose to stop off for a wander around the vineyard and a drink.
On our way back we chose to grab a burger and chips to eat and were extremely happy with the food.
Straight back on our visit list next time we come to Jersey.
Lexxi was lovely and polite throughout the entirety of our time here and only added to our experience.
Thoroughly recommend visiting to all.

Excellent tour from start to finish. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was a nice blend of vineyard/processes/tasting. The whole place is very beautiful and the cafe had a beautiful garden to enjoy a glass of wine afterwards. It was easily accessible by bus and the tour was perfectly timed to fit in with the bus timetables.

Husband and I used a gift voucher on Good Friday for a guided tasting tour and highly recommend it. Included a very short tour of the vines (due to bad weather), explanation of the vine to bottle process, video and tastings of La Mare cider, their white, rose and red wines and homemade chocolates, finished off with a tasting of their cream liqueur. Took approx. 1 hour and was led by Louise, who was charming and very knowledgeable, and accompanied by Bob, also charming! Really interesting and even though we’re local we learnt some things about Jersey. Followed up with lunch in the cafe afterwards which, as usual, delicious. Recommended for local and visitors alike.

A very worthwhile visit. Lots of information and set in a beautiful location.
We were in a private tour and our guide was called John. He was brilliant, he held his audience, made it amusing and at no point did you lose interest ! The tasting is obviously very enjoyable, and obviously you have the opportunity to purchase goods before you leave.
Make the effort to visit, it really is worth it and if you're lucky you may even have John as your guide!!

We had the most magical day at La Mare wine estate for our wedding! It was the most perfect and beautiful setting for our special day and the staff were incredible during the planning process and the day itself. I would highly recommend to any couples looking to get married!

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 😋
Even when I first heard the story of how they make it, I was like, “Yeah, okay, whatever.” But then I tried it, and wow! It was truly unique. I’ve never, ever had such a flavorful sparkling wine that wasn’t sweet.
Our tour guide was… Shit, I forgot his name. I think it was John 😂 He looked like he was about to die at any moment, which somehow made him even funnier. He was absolutely hilarious and made the tour even better!
I honestly can’t believe I’m writing a review about sparkling wine, but here we are. It really is that good!
And the apple brandy 😋😋 Delicious! Not sweet at all, and more like šljivovica.
Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore the beautiful Jersey countryside, have some laughs, and try some genuinely great wines. Even if you’re not a sparkling wine fan, give this one a chance!
Yes, I know, the glasses are small, but they do fill them up. Chocolate here 😋😋😋
