Bolney Wine Estate

We attended the Bolney Experience Tour and Tasting. What could be more interesting than discovering a variety of tastes of English wines? We were offered wonderful wine samples with matching delicious nibbles and we learned interesting tasting rules. Our guide took us into the vineyard and winery and told us a lot of interesting information about the specifics of winemaking, the secrets of production, as well as about the people thanks to whom we can enjoy the taste of delicious Bolney wines. Part of the lunch included local cheese , fresh and yummy . While we were tasting wine, our guide told us about different wines and how to pair them with different foods. It was really wonderful to learn something new and drink great wine. We bought some wines and cheese and will keep warm memories about this welcoming great Bolney Wine Estate.

I stopped at Bolney Wine Estate for breakfast and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The setting is absolutely beautiful — the estate is peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning vineyards that create a very relaxing atmosphere. The café being located on the first floor is a real highlight. It offers lovely elevated views overlooking the vineyards, which makes the whole experience feel special and unique. Sitting there with a coffee while enjoying the countryside views was truly enjoyable. The food was of great quality — fresh, well-presented, and full of flavour. You can tell care has been taken with both the ingredients and the preparation. The service was also friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend Bolney Wine Estate for breakfast or even just for coffee with a view. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed morning in a beautiful setting.

We went there for a wine tasting afternoon and had a fabulous time. The guide who did the tour round the vineyard was very knowledgeable. The wine tasting and lunch were of very high quality. The paring was good and the lunch was very nice too. We bought a few bottles of Sparkling wine each and had a lovely afternoon there.

Beautiful vineyard and fabulous staff, particularly William and Monica who brought myself and friends through the ‘12 wines of Christmas’ tasting tour. We thoroughly enjoyed all Bolney had to offer and had some tasty sharing boards in the restaurant afterward. Really got us in the Christmas spirit.

This was the best wine tour I’ve been on so far. Most tours are interesting but our guide, William, just had a breadth of knowledge and dry sense of humour that elevated this one to the top. The equipment Bolney use is also very professional compared to some of the rustic small French vineyards. The use of local cheese, chocolate and salami during the tasting was different. Definitely worth a visit.

We have just had the most amazing wine tasting tour at Bolney Wine Estate. The wines were fabulous and our tour guide very knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. The food pairings were done with local cheeses utterly delicious and the meze sharing platters were super. The whole afternoon could not be faulted in any way. Thankyou.

One of a few vineyards in the area we hadn’t visited but stopped off on way home . So glad we did. Great venue lovely staff dogs welcome even inside at the cafe. Great wine and topped of with a great piece of cake. What more can I say. Perfect place

That's a hidden gem in West Sussex. It was an amazing experience . I am very proud to see some very good quality still wines and sparkling wines in the UK . Some of the products you can put on the same level with french wines and champagne. Very reasonably priced wine flights and snacks for it. It's a lovely bar with the terrace overlooking the wineyards, and you can also sit outside by the wineyard with outstanding views and feelings.

Going here was a pretty alright experience. There are beautiful views and the staff is pretty friendly. That being said, it's clearly a winery first and a restaurant second. The food quality is inconsistent and fairly expensive. When you pay £19 you expect top quality, but I can't recommend the beef burger sadly. That being said, the Caesar salad was rather good and they have a decent selection of beverages on the menu. When it comes to food, I would try to find reviews of their specific offerings online before ordering as it seems rather inconsistent in terms of quality. If you're just looking for wine it's probably a a safe bet but if you're also looking to indulge in some lunch, maybe consider doing that elsewhere.

We came two days ago while scouting out the British countryside to see whereabouts we might want to move on returning from living abroad. We had a great experience that day with a fantastic younger waitress who was a great help with a friendly smile. Today, not so much! We were served in the cafe by an older lady with grey hair who was SO moody! She refused my American credit card because it required signing not chip and pin as she was used to, and proceeded to make our English friends pay for the food and drinks with an English card. I'm not sure if this is even legal? The food, the drinks and the waitress who delivered our food was much nicer of an experience, but the grey haired waitress taking our order needs some serious help! Photo attached for management to identify her. She'll make a ruin of the cafe if not retrained I'm sad to say!

This family run business produces some of the best wine in the area and has won numerous awards for doing so! The history of the place dates back some 2000 years ago when the Romans used to make wine in the area and it is mentioned in the Doomsday book. The business started off as just 3 acres of vineyards in the 70s and has now expanded to around 22! One of my favourites is the Blackbird Merlot which is a really nice light bodied red but there's plenty to choose from and you can order online. They say wine doesn't travel so you can't get closer than here!
