Hanwell Wine Estate - Melton Mowbray

Visited here after receiving a Red Letter Day voucher for a tour and wine tasting. We lucked out with the weather which made it a perfect day. Don’t want to give too much away but lovely owner who did a talk to start, then more information sat down amongst the vines. Then a bit of a stroll around the vines then on for some tasting of wines and mead. Finished off with some nice food and treated ourselves to another glass of wine. We’d done the smart thing of travelling from Nottingham by bus to Keyworth then walking the four miles from there to the Vineyard. Some might think that’s not so smart…..Bought some wine to bring home with us of course! Great day out!

Lovely winery to go to for a
Sunny afternoon out! We did the wine tour and really enjoyed hearing about the history of the winery and how intricate and complex growing the vines can be!
The tasting was great too with 6 wines of generous portions. We had the cheese board to finish which was great. Would definitely recommend!

Open Fridays and weekends. Lovely self guided walk around the vineyard followed by a lovely mixed plate to share plus a couple of glasses of fizz. Generous car parking with short walk to the cafe area. Absolutely loved it.

Visited a couple of weeks ago for the wine tour. Very informative tour in beautiful surroundings. After wine tasting, sampled local cheeses. We had booked to camp for the night, the only tent in the field! A glorious relaxing evening watching the local wildlife, including hares in the field and spotting the barn owls leaving their nesting box and searching for food throughout the evening. Amazing sunset as well. Thank you.

Jason got me a voucher for Christmas for Hanwell Wine Estate vineyard tour, and we finally were able to use it last week.

A vineyard... in Nottingham?! It is only 15 minutes away (taxi, because wine!) and we were given a glass of wine as we walked in. We were then talked through the process, shown around the vineyard and got to sample 6 delicious wines.

Not one person I have spoken to knows this place exists, which is crazy as they have so many activities from chocolate and wine pairings, to their popular wine runs! Definitely check them out.

Really enjoyed our trip. Bought this my husband as a gift as he is unsure on wine and what he would like. But this has given him the chance to try a few. we had a lovely tour and learnt a few interesting things including the family history. Lovely meal also. All in all an enjoyable few hours.

Visited Hanwell Wine for a bronze tasting experience that was a Christmas gift from my daughter. The experience was excellent, the tour guide Dave was very knowledgeable giving history of wine in the UK not just Hanwell as was the case at another vineyard we visited last year. He also gave excellent insight on processes for wine growing and impact of man on wine in the 19th century that destroyed vineyards at the time. The wines were a mixture of good and not so good but the time for the tour and tasting was insightful and would recommend Hanwell for that reason. Hopefully return in the future for an overnight camping trip, art trip and some more wine 🍷

We had a fantastic trip to Hanwell today, for the wine tasting and tour of the vineyard which was bought as a gift for Mothers Day. Helenka was incredibly engaging and informative, the vineyard itself was really interesting, and the wines were all so delicious (and generously poured!). Highly, highly recommend for a lovely afternoon out.
