What a wonderful experience! The tour was both informative and delightful. It began with a lovely glass of wine in the garden, and we enjoyed five more as we explored the estate. I recommend visiting during the week when the tour groups are smaller, possibly allowing for a second helping of wine. Even without that, the wines on offer are exquisite. Derek, our tour guide, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer any questions. If you're staying in the area, avoid using Green Metro Cars taxis as they tried to take advantage of us. There are plenty of other options available. We purchased our tour with a discount from Virgin Points, and while the experience is worth the full price, getting a discount makes it an even better deal. After the tour, we enjoyed a bottle of our favorite wine (Braccus still) and a delicious cheese and meat sharing plate, which was a perfect end to the day. The weather was beautiful, so try to plan your visit on a sunny day, though I understand that can be tricky with English weather. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for such a memorable day!

Stanlake Park Wine Estate was a fantastic discovery for this American wine-lover. It is a short, beautiful walk from Twyford station (itself an easy train ride to/from London). They have a lovely garden where you can order wines by the flight, glass, or bottle with helpful wine descriptions, as well as English cheese plates and charcuterie. It's such an idyllic and relaxing environment. They also were kind enough to squeeze me into the afternoon vineyard tour and tasting (they pour a generous 6 samples while on the tour) even though I had not prebooked, and it was quite informative, and our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. My visit to Stanlake Park gave me a renewed, heightened appreciation for British wines (especially the whites and sparklings), and Stanlake Park does a wonderful job of balancing respect for tradition with creativity in winemaking. Don't miss this if you are in the area!

We had a great time on a wine & cheese tour in Dec 2023. Welcomed to the tour with a chilled glass of sparkling wine before moving outside. Our guide Derek was friendly, engaging & knowledgeable, able to share his passion for the subject with us in a down to earth and relaxed way. We learnt about the history of the Estate, the different varieties of grapes grown, the impact of weather & climate change, and the processes used in the winery. Surprisingly (to me) it’s not highly mechanised and still much intensive labour is required. Finished the outdoor tour with an indoor wine & cheese paired tasting which was very enjoyable. Generous tastings offered to all of us in our small group of 4. No pressure to drink up and get out, allowing us time to drink, chat and choose a few bottles to buy for Christmas. Thank you to all the team!

Thank you very much to all at Stanlake Park Estate for a wonderful evening of wine (and cheese) tasting. I have visited Stanlake Park on many different occasions, and this year, for my 40th birthday, I wanted to introduce my family to Stanlake Park. We took part in a wine tasting evening, which was very well delivered by our host Richard and the team. We learnt about the amazing wines that are made and sold at the vineyard, as well as some wonderful cheeses that perfectly complement the various wines and can be purchased in the cellar shop. As you'd expect, the wine bar has a very extensive offering of wines that can be tried and purchased. As well as offering other local produce and a variety of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I can't recommend Stanlake Park highly enough, and look forward to my next visit soon.

I recently filmed a wedding at Stanlake Park Wine Estate and was blown away by how beautiful the venue was! They run regular vineyard tours and tastings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and have a shop to purchase your favourite bottles. Although I was there for work, I will definitely be visiting again for a tour and tasting! Weddings are held in a separate area of the estate and my couple were lucky with the weather to have the outdoor ceremony they had hoped for. The Coach House offers a covered space to marry and wedding breakfasts/receptions take place in the beautiful Vineyard Barn. Guests can spill out into the barn courtyard with a backdrop of the gorgeous vineyards. Such a lovely wedding venue with incredibly friendly staff. I would highly recommend!

Fabulous wine and cheese tasting experience! Great value for money. Our guide was very engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot! Saw one of the vineyards, the pressing equipment, the wine storage and where the sparkling wine bottles are turned and finished - all done by hand. We had a lovely glass of the sparkling white on arrival in their gorgeous cafe/shop, a glass of orange wine on the tour then back to the cafe where tables had been laid with two whites, two reds and cheeses to match each one. All absolutely delicious and the wines were excellent. All in all a fabulous evening.
