Summer Nature Tour
This was a superb afternoon. The weather was in our favour but it truly was a wonderful experience. We loved the walk and tour led by Lindy who was very knowledgeable and a great and friendly guide. To top it off the sparkling wine and platter was just awesome and delicious. We were looked after with the staff being attentive but not intrusive. We will be back and can highly recommend.

Winemakers' Cocktail Party
As the event has been cancelled and will not take place until late July, this is something of a waste of time. Cannot rate something that is yet to happen, if it does. Organisation? Poor marketing.

Balfour Dining Club - February and March 22
Our first dining club experience and it was wonderful! Friendly staff and first class food and wine. The sauce with the scallops was the best ever! Can't wait until summer to be able to sit outside! Our first meal just the 2 of us since July 2021 so thank you all for a fabulous evening.

Great few hours spent here. All the staff were incredibly friendly but big thank you to our guide Kelly. Kelly is very knowledgable & took an interest in all of our individual likes and dislikes gearing our tasting to these, she made the whole experience great fun 🥂

Winemakers' Dinner - £75.00 per person - 6.30pm - 10.30pm 21
A Black Tie dinner was a great idea. It was so lovely to get dressed up for a quality evening. My wife and I attended as a couple, and were placed on a table with two other couples. The company was great, and we loved it. The food was a little uneven. For example, my wife and I both had soup for the first course and it was outstanding, but our mains were disappointing. Way too much salt had been applied, to the point where the dish was actually unpleasant. Then, the dessert course was extremely good but the cheese course was unnecessarily frugal, to the point that everybody on the table hesitated to take some from the (single) plate for fear of depriving the rest of the table. Overall, the evening was a really nice experience. Our table was fun, all of the staff/servers were impeccable and we would definitely attend another such event. The food aspect could usefully use some attention, though.

We had such a lovely afternoon! Becky was very welcoming also extremely informative & we learnt a lot about the different wines. It was my first wine tasting experience & it was so much fun. I have told all my family & friends how great it was & I can’t wait to come back & visit again soon!

Full Estate Tour and Tasting
Quite expensive for the tour including the £5.00 tasting. Having said that the tour was very interesting and our guide Anne-Marie was knowledgeable, informative , professional and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We were unable to visit the winery due to harvesting so we watched a video which was great. The very generous voucher to compensate for this was appreciated and quickly spent in the shop!! Our lunch platters afterwards were of the same high quality as the wine and fizz!! Our only niggling issue was the presence of dogs in the eating area, one of which was wandering around freely. Not really our thing. Overall a fabulous day and experience.

Balfour Wine and Dine Experience
A wonderful day, staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the whole day was pitched at the right level for the visitors. Very interesting insight into so many things other than wine-making, including the conservation aspects of the estate. Wine was excellent, as was the food. Highly recommend a visit and I would certainly like to go back and repeat the experience. A huge thank you to all the staff.

Balfour Wine and Dine Experience
What a awesome day! Our host Barry, was fantastic and hospitable - unpretentious but knowledgable. The 3 course meal was great too, with wine tasting and wine pairing, there was good amount of wine! The estate is beautiful and you really get the feel of family owned business passionate about wine, food and conservation. Definitely recommend the food and wine experience.

PRIVATE Cellar Door Masterclass £25
A brilliant tasting, expertly hosted by friendly Keli. It was the rainiest of days, I got the time wrong and got lost but it was an excellent visit and I learned so much about your amazing wines. Bought a few bottles too. Can't wait to come back and hopefully it'll be sunny next time - I need to wander around the vines. Thanks guys!

Real difficulties ordering taxis in such an isolated area but beautiful surroundings and committed quality winery with a huge selection of different wines and excellent Apple juice and cider from their own orchards.

We were welcomed by some very friendly staff and offered complimentary wine on arrival. The premises were beautifully designed, tastefully decorated and we were fortunate enough to be able to sit on the terrace as it was a beautiful summers evening. I can honestly say that the food was utterly amazing! Beautifully presented, very tasty and the waiting staff were informative, friendly and attentive!

Full Estate Tour and Tasting
A lovely afternoon spent here, our guide (Barry) was extremely knowledgeable and most of all friendly and chatty, really adds value to the experience. Took away all that pretentious feel of a vineyard. Enjoyed the tasting of the wines and the platter, my only complaint was that on arrival nobody stated that the platter I pre-ordered did not come with the wine I tasted on the tour, otherwise I would have had this beforehand. Overall a great day, and the weather certainly helped!
