Cafe and self-guided vineyard tours
On Saturdays 10am-3pm through to Christmas the site is open for self-guided vineyard tours, pick up a map from the Tasting Lodge.
The Tasting Lodge is open as a cafe from 10am-3pm every Saturday through to Christmas, we serve tea, coffee, homemade cake and wine – simple pleasures. From Christmas until Easter the cafe will be closed, reopening again when we see the first signs of Spring.
You can also buy wine and vineyard tour vouchers in the Tasting Lodge too, so don’t drive by, tick a loved one off your Christmas list with a gift from Hanwell Wine Estate, your local Nottinghamshire vineyard!
Hope to see you soon
