Tony and I always take big trips throughout europe on free weekends that we have available. We decided one slow weekend to take advantage of discovering more of the UK itself. We found a great Vineyard in Dorking, Surrey. It was about an hour train to get there. The best harvest time for them is October/November...seems like it would be too cold. We had a great time!
Check out the Vineyard: http://www.denbies.co.uk/Groups/126187/Denbies_Wine_Estate.aspx
These are the three wines we tasted while there minus a red wine.
Hand made barrels they used to use to store the wine.
The ride through the winery...it went 1 mile per hour. HA!
The map of the entire vineyard and where all the different types are produced. They had to have certain berries grown in the shade and some in the sun. Very cool to learn about how it is all made.
Strolling through the Vineyard. The grapes were very tiny this time of year (summer).
Tony is finally starting to appreciate wine over here!
You can see how tiny the grapes are!
We had a blast but want to go to the big Vineyards in Europe now!
