We spent a weekend at the winery in the Vineyard house with a group of friends and had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and well-equipped, and the wine was fantastic. The tour was great, and the picnic, featuring local products, was a real highlight (we especially loved the cheese!)

We loved our time here and would happily return.

Really great tour, tasting and picnic. This is a very small but perfectly formed winery. Paola who did the tour and tasting was very knowledgeable and the wines were excellent. We enjoyed the picnic lunch which was plenty for two of us. Two types of bread with lots of cheese, venison charcuterie, crackers, apple and an excellent brownie with a glass of rosé. They also serve their wines by the glass which were good value . £5 for an extra glass.

I really enjoyed the wine tasting session, learning about the recent history of the vineyard and tasting 4 of the organic wines (all vegan friendly). The wine was delicious so we bought a couple of bottles to take home too.

We stayed for two nights in a Shepherd's Hut and had a tour of the vineyard and winery with a picnic to follow the tastings. Everything was excellent and we would recommend it to all. We were impressed by the quality of the wines and purchased some to take home, the amount being limited by space around our luggage in the boot of our car.

I booked a wine tour for our 10 year anniversary as it was near where we were staying. It did not disappoint. Kristin was a superb and knowledgeable host who you could tell loves making wine. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. If you book a tour you must book the picnic lunch as it was delicious with locally sourced produce. As for the wine... It is award winning and organic so there is nothing more to say... It was delicious. Even as a non-wine drinker I could easily drink the wine you produce it is amazing. Thank you all for making our day special.

As a long-time lover of Oxney Organic Vineyard, I can honestly say that each visit feels like coming home, if home was a vineyard filled with delicious wines everywhere you look of course.

I've been fortunate to visit many times over the years, and each experience has been nothing short of exceptional, and just when I think I've learnt all there is, I am suprised by something new. The vineyard has this wonderful, peaceful charm with it's surrounding woodlands that keeps me returning, and that also holds true for the abundant wildlife that seem drawn to this peacful idyll.

And that's not even mentioning the outstanding organic wines that only get better taste after taste. If I could point to one vineyard that with give the best representation of the incredible potential for wines produced in England then Oxney Organic would be the one I'd choose time and time again.

What I love most is how consistently Oxney stays true to its organic and sustainable principles. Kristin and her team are dedicated to being the organic custodians of their beautiful plot of earth and the care they put into every detail—from the vineyards to the winemaking process—is self-evident not just in their wines but also the local ecology, which seems more vibrant and boyant for it. Their passion for what they do is infectious.

Over the years, I’ve brought many friends and family members along, and without fail, everyone leaves as a fan. The tour is always insightful, with new things to learn each time, and the tasting sessions are a joy for the palate even if sometimes I leave with more than I bargained for and lighter wallet for the experience. But again that's surely testament to the solid 5 stars I think they more than deserve.

Oxney Organic Vineyard has become a special place for me and my friends, a little spot of heaven for wine lovers who value quality and sustainability and most importantly the people who put their hearts into it.

I can’t recommend it enough, and I look forward to many more visits!

Cheers to that!

Quite an unfortunate tasting I’d be happy to write off to a busy day. If you were expecting the wine to pick up the slack from the presentation, prepare to be disappointed.

Relatively lacklustre tour, inconsistent and stingy pours (between a dribble to a small glass depending on your seat), and a lack of knowledge led to a relatively disappointing experience. The sparkling wines were nothing special. The pinot noir was very good but not included in the tasting.
