Where better to enjoy a warm summer’s day than a beautiful vineyard sipping on some of the finest English sparkling wine. Boasting a vast outdoor south facing terrace overlooking the vines, Tinwood Estate is located just over an hour from London, next door to the world-renowned Goodwood Estate – making it ideal for a day trip this summer.
Open all year round, Tinwood Estate has an exciting offering to entice and appeal to both overnight and day guests.
Sparkling Afternoon Tea
Tinwood’s Afternoon Tea is a decadent affair, with delicate finger sandwiches, warm crumbly scones with clotted cream and red berry compote, and a variety of delicious homemade cakes and bakes.
The experience includes a guided vineyard tour to discover the journey from grape to glass and Tinwood’s story. Back in the Tasting Room, guests can enjoy three glasses of Tinwood sparkling wine throughout the afternoon tea.
£49 per person, select days only
Vineyard Kitchen and Picnic in the Vines
While away the day over a delicious lunch from Tinwood’s ‘Vineyard Kitchen’. Modern tapas style dishes and sharing boards, each inspired by the Sussex surroundings, seasons and celebrating locally grown ingredients.
Prefer your feast alfresco? Opt for a Picnic in the Vines, where Tinwood provides the picnic hamper, blanket, and everything you need to dine among the vines. Choose your small plates, pack a bottle of something chilled, and settle onto the lawn, terrace or a shaded bench overlooking the vines for an afternoon luxuriating in the sun.
