Don't just take our word for it
from 946 reviewsWe had a great tour and wine tasting with
David.
We bought two of the wines-three of the rosé and three blanc de blancs. Both absolutely delicious. Also a bottle of the still, very sweet Entice. A lovely experience and it’s good to know about the sparkling wines which, though expensive, are great for a special occasion. The tour revealed the very high quality equipment and care taken to achieve high standards. Award winning sparkling wines; Hattingley Wines are a classy wine both now and for the future. I wish them well.

Had an amazing fun and educational experience with Magz sharing her vast knowledge with us.
Went to Hattingley Valley Wines for the tour as a couple. Met by James the Tour Manager. He is a really engaging, witty and knowledgeable guy. First taste of the Classic Reserve very nice. Great informative tour. Back to taste the next three of which the Rose was the best for me. There is an opportunity to buy wine at the end with a 10% discount off three bottles and 15% off six. Here is my one criticism. The Reserve Classic is £38. I can by that at Waitrose for £29. I get their buying power and volume can achieve a lower price but surely Hattingley could do the same price and get their product out to a greater audience. The 10% offer is therefore not very good.Otherwise an enjoyable visit and very good wine.
What fantastic and educational tour. James,the tour guide, has over 30 years experience in the wine industry. His knowledge was delivered in a confident yet laid back manner, he guaged his audience to perfection. Four fabulous wines were poured by the lovely Laura who kept us all in check. Overall, a very worthwhile tour and excellent value for money. I travelled from Lancashire to do this tour and it was well worth the Journey. Thank you Hattingley
Wonderful visit and hospitality
Delivered on time, great eco packaging- can’t wait to drink it
We enjoyed a lovely & informative afternoon on a wine tour at Hattingley Valley. We tasted & enjoyed a number of their sparkling wines with the added opportunity to try any favourite ones further. Max was very knowledgeable & together with Sean were the perfect hosts throughout the tour. There was no obligation to buy although we did thoroughly enjoy the Classic Rose that we chose to purchase.
Absolutely fantastic place! Wonderful wines and such an interesting tour - learnt so much. Highly recommend a visit and tour - and their delicious wines!
Lovely couple of hours wandering through the vineyards. An interesting insight into the growing cycle of the vine, shared by the enthusiastic team. All washed down of course with a selection of their lovely sparkling wine.
The Hattingley Valley vineyard walk and tasting on Sunday was great with very knowledgeable hosts. It was good to see the vineyard (although well hidden away and not so easy to find!) and hear about the history and then how the vines are managed from the vineyard manager. Then of course the tastings at various points of the vineyard really added to the whole experience. All 4 of the wines were great and confirmed our love for English sparkling wine.
Booked this tour at the last minute for my mum's birthday after a quick Google search, and what a find it turned out to be.
We were incredibly lucky to be the only four people on the tour, which made the experience feel really personal. James was absolutely fantastic. We had the full two hours with him, and his knowledge was brilliant. What stood out most was how well he balanced the educational side with the wine tasting. So many vineyard tours focus heavily on selling the product, but James spent just as much time explaining the story of Hattingley Valley, the winemaking process, and what makes English sparkling wine so special.
The tour was engaging, informative and never felt like a sales pitch. That said, we enjoyed it so much we left with a case of their Classic Cuvée!
Most importantly, my mum had a lovely birthday treat and came away saying it was one of the highlights of her weekend.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wine tour that's genuinely interesting, welcoming and expertly hosted. Very good value too at £30 a head, given the length of tour, generous tastings and knowledge learnt.
Thank you, James!
After the brilliant talk and tour of the winery, the wines themselves were a revelation. Having been in the wine trade in several different aspects, I have to say, Hattingley wines are some of the best English bottles out there.
Keep it coming, and many congratulations, all the care and effort put into the making of these excellent sparklers has paid off. Thank you.
James has explained in depth about the philosophy and how it is put into practice in viticulture and vinification in Hittingly Valley.
Had a great couple of hours at Hattingley Valley Wines. Very informative and tasted some really lovely sparkling wines.
