About our vineyard tour + tasting
We offer vineyard tours with our in-house expert on the banks of the River Test in Hampshire.
​
Our tours are available year-round, but we think the best time to visit is from April to September.
Join a tour from Friday to Sunday at 11am, or at 2pm on Saturday's + Sunday's throughout the summer.
​
You can book Tours + Tastings for up to 10 people. Please contact us directly if you have a larger group.
Stay for Lunch
After the tour, you'll enjoy a laid-back tasting session in The Tasting Room or Courtyard. You'll get to sample two of our standout wines: the award-winning ‘Classic’ sparkling wine and the ‘Dancer in Pink’ still rosé.
​
You can book a tour with or without lunch - your call! If you’re staying for lunch, we’ve got you covered with options including cheeseboards, charcuterie, smoked trout, and trout pâté. There's something for everyone!
The details
Children and dogs are welcome. We do not charge for children unless you would like us to provide them with lunch.
If you wish to cancel or postpone your tour, please contact us by phone or email at least 24 hours in advance of your booking time. We cannot refund or rearrange within 24 hours. We adjust the tours for poor weather, however we will be in contact if we need to cancel completely.

I have a voucher to redeem, how does it work?If you have a physical card voucher with a 3 digit code on the back, please email sales@blackchalkwine.co.uk with you desired date and we will check availability. If you have a digital voucher via email, you can book your tour online. Head to www.blackchalkwine.co.uk/vineyard-tours-and-wine-tasting and select the appropriate tour. Select your date, and for tours with lunch, select your grazing boards on the following page. On the last page, enter your details and then add each voucher code (beginning with ‘V’) individually into the ‘add promo/voucher’ box. This will reduce your balance to zero, unless you have ordered extra lunch boards.

Is there accommodation nearby?There are a number of campsites in the area. For hotels, Andover and Stockbridge are a 10 minute drive. Alternatively Winchester is 15-20 minutes away. A separate company, Wild Escapes, have built four luxury treehouses in one of our vineyards. These are available to book at www.wildescapes.co.uk
