点评:Big recommend. Have been to other vineyard tours in England, generally always good, but here you got a lot for your buck. The gentleman who took our tour was called William, he was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating. First up, you get a glass of fizz and an overview of the vineyard's story, then a look around the vines and the winery - we were slightly unlucky in that most of the harvest took place the day before, but hey-ho, that was just because the hot weather this summer made it necessary. After the look around you have a proper wine tasting: five different wines -glasses not splashes!- with a morsel of local produce to accompany and compare/contrast...followed by an entire charcuterie board and glass of your choice. Then a try of either their gin or their vermouth, made with the byproduct of their wine. All the while learning about the process and the history. You also get a discount on the wine proportionate to how much you buy. There is a bar on site, you can sit out and enjoy the vines and scenery with the local wine. Yes, we got lucky with the weather -perfect sunny 23°- and you might not get a tourguide as good as William (anywhere tbh, he was brilliant), but overall an absolute joy, loved every minute.
翻译:强烈推荐!我以前也参加过英格兰的其他葡萄园游览活动,总体来说都不错,但这次的性价比实在超高。带我们游览的先生名叫威廉,他是一位出色的向导,知识渊博且待人热情。一开始我们会得到一杯起泡酒,并了解葡萄园的历史;随后便参观葡萄园与酿酒厂——可惜的是,大部分收获工作都在前一天完成了,不过也无妨啦。这样做只是因为今年夏天天气炎热,实属必要之举。参观结束后便开始正式的品酒环节:品尝五种不同的葡萄酒——可别把酒洒出来哦!——同时还会配上少量当地特产以供搭配、对比和品鉴……随后还能享用一整块熟食拼盘以及一杯您心仪的酒饮。接着还可以尝尝他们用酿酒副产品制成的杜松子酒或苦艾酒。整个过程中,您还能了解到酿酒的工艺流程及其历史渊源。购买的葡萄酒数量越多,所能享受的折扣也越大。庄园内设有酒吧,你可以坐在户外,一边品尝当地葡萄酒,一边欣赏葡萄园与周围的风景。没错,我们碰上了绝佳的天气——23度,阳光明媚;虽然不一定能遇到像威廉这样出色的导游(说实话,他真的太棒了),但整体体验绝对愉快,每一分钟都让我们乐在其中。
