Oastbrook Estate Vineyard - Robertsbridge

Impressive estate and vineyards. America and Nick were so pleasant and know hospitality. We came down from London for the winery tour and tasting. You must either cycle from the train or plan to hire a taxi in advance if you don’t drive.

The format of the vineyard needs to include more walking- if not through the vineyards than at least a perimeter tour, or at least allow people to drink some sparkling wine if we must stand in one place standing still for an hour.

Great stories overall though, and the tasting was really informative. Loved all of the wine- they are masters of their craft.

Visited here with my sisters for the wine tour and tasting as well as spending the night in one of their bell tents which was perfect. Facilities were great and exceptionally clean.

A special thank you to America who gave us the tour and really added value to the whole experience with her knowledge, passion and friendliness - she is brilliant.

Both Nick and America are amazing and their wine is fantastic.

I will certainly be recommending this and hopefully visiting again.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 1 night on the 31st August in the Glamping tents to celebrate my birthday which included the wine tour.

Pros: The surroundings of the vineyard were beautiful and the Glamping tents were of a good standard with excellent bathroom facilities. I was impressed by how professional Nick was throughout our stay - very clear and knowledge and loved the morning breakfast drop off!

Cons - the check in to our Glamping tents was not the smoothest. We had finished the wine tour and asked America if we were able to check in but we felt it came across as an inconvenient ask at the time and was told to find Gaby whom we hadn’t met before. We went away wandered around and returned and waited for a while as no one was able to assist.
We were then eventually shown to our tent where we were staying but unfortunately there were very little niceties and just a list of what we weren’t allowed to do which wasn’t the warmest welcome to our stay.

It also became apparent that Charcoal was not included for the BBQ so a word of note to others staying. This would have been nice to know about prior to staying and would have also been a nice throw in considering the price of the tents.

With regards to the wine tour - the wine tasting with Nick was excellent and wonderful wines though during the wine tour itself through the vineyard there was a lot of repetition and swearing which came as a bit of a surprise.

My boyfriend also mentioned that I was gluten and dairy free of which they said they can only do if available. Given my intolerance this is not a negotiable. In the end I was kindly provided with a gluten and dairy free breakfast which was great but clearer communication up front would have been appreciated and knowing that I could be accommodated for.

All in all a nice experience, for me a few areas around communication can be worked on in my opinion especially when celebrating my birthday these aspects make a difference.

We visited America and Nick for the vineyard tour and wine tasting afternoon, the 2 of them are fantastic hosts, me and my wife found a love for wines we never thought we would, absolutely entertaining and so so informative, if your visiting the area Oastbrook vineyard is a must visit place, in fact even if your not visiting the area, you should just to come see these guys.

Excellent friendly, fun and informative wine tasting tour. America and Nick are great hosts and have an infectious enthusiasm and passion for what they do. They even gave our teenager his own separate alcohol free trip and walk to Bodium Castle.

Overall a great experience, easy parking, top location and facilities. Would not hesitate to recommend treating yourself to a visit here. We look forward to coming back next year (last tour of the year today).

Fab place with passionate owners and lovely natural views. The bathrooms and shower facilities were BEYOND incredible vs any other glamp situation I’ve experienced.

Good value for 2 night summer adventure.

Only area for improvement would be variety for breakfast boxes they deliver. Nice touch but exact same each day.

My partner and I visited the vineyard for the tour- it was a really fantastic experience hosted by America and Nick. Both America and Nick were kind, welcoming and knowledgeable and the wines were delicious! We would highly recommend this experience if you are in or around the area!

We have just returned from a fantastic 4 night stay at the Avalon Waterside lodge at Oastbrook Estate Vineyard. From the moment we arrived and met with the owners Nick and America we knew this place was special. The accommodation was to a very high standard and the views around were stunning. We can highly recommend this place plus we took the opportunity to sample some of the excellent wine from their vineyard. We definitely will be back to stay plus include a vineyard tour next time.
