Vineyard tour and wine tasting
Share this event
Please note this day trip is women only. We’re heading out of the city for a half-day escape to Stanlake Park Wine Estate in Berkshire! Set across a historic 17th-century estate, this relaxed, guided wine tasting takes us behind the scenes of one of England’s oldest wineries. It’s a fantastic opportunity to sample great local wines, explore the vines, and connect with a small group of wine enthusiasts.
📍 The Itinerary
- Meeting Point: London Paddington Station (exact location shared post-booking).
- Outbound: Group train to Twyford station then a short 15-minute walk
- Activity 1: Guided Wine Tour & Tasting Led by WSET-qualified guides, we'll embark on a 90-minute "taste-as-you-go" tour across the vineyard, fermentation room, barrel cellar, and bottling line. We’ll sample 6 generous pours of English wine along the way—spanning sparkling, whites, rosé, reds, and occasionally orange wines.
- Activity 2 / Lunch : Wine Bar & Garden Social After the tour, we’ll gather at Stanlake Park’s Wine Bar and peaceful courtyard garden. You can order cheese or charcuterie boards, snacks, and additional wine or hot drinks while relaxing with the group.
- The Return: The group walks back to Twyford station together to catch the train home to London (~3 pm return, exact timings shared post booking)
