Enjoy a wine tasting with lunch and a visit to Balfour Wine Estate for four people.
Your day begins at 11am with a private transfer from Marden train station. Where you will be met by one of our Balfour Ambassadors who will be your personal guide throughout your visit.
Upon arrival at the winery, enjoy a glass of our signature Balfour Brut Rosé on our upstairs terrace overlooking Nannette’s vineyard.
Your Balfour Ambassador will show you hidden areas of the estate not available on other tours. You’ll be provided with an in depth insight into Balfour's viticulture practices, woodland and wildflower conservation programme and the wonderful wildlife and nature that live on its 400 acre estate, creating its own ecosystem with vast biodiversity.
After the tour you will visit our state of the art winery where you will be given a comprehensive overview of the winemaking and production techniques used for Balfour's still and sparkling wines. This will be followed by a very special tutored tasting with the winemaker, in the owner’s private tasting room, you will be guided through a selection of Balfour's premium wines, giving a truly unique insight into the team's winemaking skill and craftsmanship.
Following your tutored tasting, relax and enjoy a delicious, seasonal three course lunch expertly prepared by the resident chef. Each course will be paired with a glass of wine specially selected by head winemaker, Fergus Elias.
At the end of your afternoon, at 4pm, a private transfer will take you back to Marden train station.
