It would have been useful from Travelzoo to have been sent the voucher number again just before our trip, as we had trouble finding it from Septembers booking, and Balfours wanted the voucher number so they got paid. We did manage to find it at lunchtime, but would have been good to have had a reminder of the voucher We had 4 or 5 reminders from Balfours that we were booked on the trip, but nothing from Travelzoo.

We enjoyed the tastings and the food was excellent. A beautiful setting and a very upmarket venue. Bought 6 bottles of non vintage wine at a good price. A good deal all round.

The offer was advertised as a tour/tasting/platter for 2 that normally cost £120, but was £40 for Travelzoo members. We feel that we actually got a reduced tour, reduced tasting and reduced food platter, compared to the full price one. In short, it was an experience specifically tailored to the price that we paid, rather than the normal offering at a discounted price. If you are going to offer something at a supposedly discounted price, then the actual offering should not be watered down to meet the lower price point.

We had an incredibly knowledgeable guide, Siobhan, who took us on a short tour, answering a number of questions, and then conducted our wine tasting. The sharing platter that we had afterwards was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will be back.

Vineyard tour was a bit short, but there is not much growing anyway. The wine-making "tour" was virtual - so just a film, although very informative. The tasting element was well explained though measures varied depending which of the two presenters was doing the pouring. The lunch platter was very tasty and the weather perfect, so a very nice day all round. And great value at the Travelzoo price.
This was a meet up with an old school friend I myself have done the tour before and thoroughly enjoyed it so I wanted to introduce my mate to the same experience and we were both overwhelmed with the tour the winetasting and most definitely all the staff an excellent day out and so relaxing

An enjoyable experience with a tour guide who was very knowledgeable, happy to share his knowledge and answer any questions asked.
The sharing platter consisted of quality ingredients and of sufficient quantity to be just right for the occasion.
At the TravelZoo offer price we believe the experience gave us good value and will likely visit again later in the year.

All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We arrived early and treated ourselves to herbal teas and coffees. Our Tour guide Roisin was excellent, friendly and informative. WE were offered wellingtons to wear for the vine walk and tour. The wine tasting was interesting with three wines along with an informative video about the estate and owners. We followed with an excellent lunch where we purchased an additional wine to enjoy.
