点评:Having recently moved to mid Devon I wanted to show family all the area has to offer and sample some of the amazing local produce, this included a wonderful tour and wine tasting at Quoit at Cross Vineyard, near Tiverton. We visited in May and the weather was on our side. There was roughly around 10 people on our tour (and a dog) and we were met byTim in the area allocated for parking before heading up a track (slightly hilly) to the vineyard slopes with amazing views of the valley and surrounding Devon countryside. Tim talked of his connection with the vineyard and the vines origins, growing and production.
Beautiful walk around the vines to the tasting which was set up in a marquee looking out over the vineyard. We tasted 3 wines, all delectable, my favourite being the Rondo Rose. We then had the opportunity to buy wine and went away with a few bottles. Tim is a great host and our trip ended with the promise of a return in 2026.
翻译:我最近搬到了德文郡中部,想带家人体验一下这里的风土人情,也想品尝一些当地特产。这其中就包括参观位于蒂弗顿附近的奎特十字葡萄园 (Quoit at Cross Vineyard) 并品尝美酒。我们五月份去的,天气也格外晴朗。我们一行大约十人(还有一条狗),蒂姆在指定的停车区域迎接了我们,然后我们沿着一条略微起伏的小路来到葡萄园的山坡上,那里可以欣赏到山谷和周围德文郡乡村的壮丽景色。蒂姆向我们讲述了他与这座葡萄园的渊源,以及葡萄藤的起源、生长和酿造过程。
我们沿着葡萄园漫步,来到了品酒室。品酒室设在一个可以俯瞰葡萄园的帐篷里。我们品尝了三种葡萄酒,每一种都非常美味,我最喜欢的是朗多桃红葡萄酒 (Rondo Rose)。之后,我们有机会购买葡萄酒,并带走了几瓶。蒂姆是一位非常棒的主人,我们此行结束时,他承诺会在2026年再次光临。
