    So on a sunny Saturday afternoon, we decided to drive out to Kent and visit the Chapel Down…read moreVineyard! We've been fans of the wine for awhile (their Pinot Reserve sparkling is delicious), and we needed to get some of their Flint Dry (and by some, I mean a lot) for a big celebration we had coming up. After driving through the countryside of Kent and through some small villages nearby, you will finally arrive at the Vineyard. It's not close to the motorway, just be prepared, but you do get to see the lovely scenic Kent countryside so that's a bonus. When you arrive, you're allowed three complimentary tastes of their wines or beers (although I'm not sure how hard and fast that rule is given we tried a few more than that). I can recommend many of their sparklings, whites and beers, but their reds aren't for me. Then if you want to buy some to take home, they offer 10% a purchase of 12 or more. There's also a huge food area to buy goodies from chocolates to jams and even savory spreads (like bacon jam!). After shopping (or even before) you can wander around the vineyard and see the grapes. We did a small walk through, but given the heat of the day, we mostly found a shaded spot in the grass and sat around chatting. There's even a restaurant if you desire a place to eat, or you can pick up cheese and biscuits from inside the shop and eat in the picnic area. It's a gorgeous place to spend a sunny Saturday.

    Prior to our trip, we were looking for wineries to visit and found Chapel Down. We found them and…read moretheir wines interesting. They have a great location and encourage picnics with a bottle of their wine. We walked a bit in the vineyards before heading in for a tasting. We drink sparkling wine every weekend so the fact that they produced several was a huge draw. We really enjoyed them and they make the perfect bubbly to bring to any gathering. Crisp, clean and refreshing...the ideal accompaniment for sushi or charcuterie. Not huge fans of the whites, but their sparkling is a tremendous value and should be enjoyed weekly!

    The winery, tour, and wines are absolutely fantastic, and their gin was one of the best that I've…read moretasted. To compliment the tasting I arranged to have lunch at their restaurant Chalk before driving back to the city. Located in beautifully remodeled stone building at the sparkling wine house of Wiston, Chalk has a star chef creating beautiful dishes from their garden and neighboring farms, all pairing beautifully with their wines. The bar program and extensive wine list offer a lovely opportunity to venture beyond their wines, although after driving all that way it seems a shame to not exclusively drink their offerings. Highlights include the Hen of the Woods gnocchi, Chicken liver parfait with Wiston Rose and Elderflower Jelly, and the white peach and almond tart with lemon verbena ice cream. 50B

It was Pip's long-held belief that the estate held the potential to grow high quality grapes and in 2006 her dream came to fruition when Wiston's 6.5ha was planted on a south/south-east-facing escarpment of pure chalk, similar to the renowned Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Under the guidance of winemaker Dermot Sugrue with a strict philosophy of sustainability, the tight-knit team produces award-winning sparkling wines of exceptional purity and finesse from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. As well as producing wine, Wiston offers Vineyard & Winery Tours by appointment April to October.

    For the wine buff this place is damn good. Hundreds of wines all over the place. New and old world,…read morereasonable and astronomical....its in the City after-all and its aimed at the City boys I expect, but don't let that put you off. The staff we friendly, a little austere, but helpful and clearly they knew their stuff. Guiding me towards wines that I knew and similar ones I didn't, all within an ok budget of £15-25 a bottle. they have free tastings, sommelier led events and you can also buy credits to go around trying wines you wouldn't usually bother with. I didn't eat but the the charcuterie and cheeses coming out looked splendid and the £22.50 platter looked a pretty good deal to me. if you are after a special bottle or two for christmas, i'd head here. and probably end up staying for a bit and starting off the silly season in style.

    Nice vibe hampered by lacklustre service. Wine selection was mediocre, with our choices (made…read morewithout recommendations) being disappointing. My port was on the lower end of the spectrum (served with it sloppily poured all over the glass, which made my hands sticky each time I picked it up), and my friends' choices were also nothing to write home about. What really took the biscuit, however, was being presented with the bill - when we hadn't asked for it. When we looked confused, we were icily told that they were "closing in 30 minutes" (this was on a Friday night, mind you). Looking back? Wishing I hadn't paid that service charge after all. Will I be back? Probably not.
