We decided to do a self guided tour as there were no tours avaliable on the date that we wanted. We did a 40 minute tour which was lovely with beautiful scenery. We returned to the shop to buy some wine and were offered a glass of wine or wine tasting a very reasonable amount. We opted for wine tasting. Alex spent time to give us a lot of useful information about the wines avaliable at Bluebell and also other British wines and she was very complimentary about competitors which was refreshing. It was a great way to spend half an hour and the wines we tasted were lovely. We will definitely be returning to Bluebell to see the fruit on the vines and to gain more wine knowledge.

We visited Bluebell Vineyard on Wednesday 12th August in the morning. I’d seen online we were able to do a self guided tour of the estate and it was beautiful. Walking through the vines was lovely and the woodland was very pretty. We were the only visitors on site at the time and we were very fortunate to be able to have a private tasting with Alex. Alex was so friendly and took so much time with us to introduce us to English Sparking wine. So kind to give us a tasting on a day when there aren’t public tastings especially whilst manning the phone! She told us so much about the process of wine making, how to tell if wine is off (happily there was an oxidised bottle to compare with) and answered lots of questions. She even showed us the goats! It was such a great experience it felt like we were with an old friend by the end! We came away with a number of bottles and a wealth of knowledge about wine from our lovely host, a really enjoyable experience (she is right - the ruby sparkling tastes just like alcoholic Ribena!) please pass on our thanks to Alex for her hospitality, she could not have done more for us! Bluebell Vineyard is well worth a visit just for a walk of the vineyard but if you can definitely do a tasting (or just buy the Ruby Sparkling!) would like to do a tour next time we are back in Sussex. Unable to respond to your response Bluebell Team - please feel free to use on your website etc. :)

It is always an enriching experience to visit a vineyard. English wines and sparkling are quite young, to my humble opinion the main issue is that smell does not meet the taste which leads to disappointment in most of the cases. A beautiful place to visit though. The wine I like the most: the hind leap rose.

My review is two part; 1. The wines are great, really enjoyed my tastings and cheese platter. The estate is lovely! A great way to spend an afternoon! 2. I found myself in a difficult situation when my car broke down in the car park! The staff were so lovely; got me a coffee and chocolate and let me stay until RAC eventually arrived. They even drove me to the nearest train station so I could get back to Brighton. Long story short the staff here are brilliant and so kind. I highly recommend a visit.

Great wine tasting experience - make it a day out by arriving early, enjoy a walk around the vines on your own followed by a tour and wine tasting and then try a long walk around - again. Get a few bottles (and cheese to go with it) before leaving - you will not easily find these elsewhere.

Fabulous setting. Informative guided tour followed by wine tasting paired with exceptional local cheeses. A walk through the vineyard and woods completed the trip on a sunny October day.

Did the moonlit walk. Brilliant evening, entertainment was excellent, food good, wine lovely. Well organised, walked In the woods lit by fairy lights with entertainment as you went round. 2 cute donkeys to stroke. Good evening all round.

A brilliant tasting yesterday with Craig. He really made the day with his informative but entertaining discussion about this very special vineyard. Kevin and his son were there too to add the personal touch to the day. Thank you Bluebell vineyard.
