Sandridge Barton - the home of Sharpham Wine - Totnes

We did the wine tour I purchased online, great venue finished to a very nice standard. Do a quick walk up to the vines to get a better feel for the place.

I’d recommend going for a higher package than the basic one, we tasted three wines.

We went on the vineyard safari, led by Matt. Great views and some wines to taste as we walked around. Matt was very good at answering questions. Clearly a great ethos in terms of protecting the environment. We saw lots of hares, which was a bonus. The trip around the winery was also very good, followed by their charcuterie and Sharpham cheese. Had lunch in the Circa Restaurant. We can recommend their pickled vegetables and beef shin croquettes.

We had the most enjoyable visit.
Parking was easy and the whole experience was first class.
We chose to have lunch before the wine tasting tour and a short circular stroll up to the vineyard.
Some decent shoes are needed for the stroll as the ground is not level or even, and it involves some railway sleeper steps. The walk is worth it though, and only takes about 40 minutes .
The choice for lunch is perfect, as were the amounts served. We have reached an age where we are not looking for overflowing plates. Top quality food on small plates is the order of the day here. We chose their cheese mousse on toasted bread with pickled beetroot as a shared starter. I then had the charcuterie, and my wife chose aubergine. Next course for me were the beef shin croquettes, whilst my wife chose the bass.
Both of us had to decline a sweet course, because we had eaten a sufficient amount . The owner Chef is self taught and the presentation of the plates of food were works of art! Table service is a joy. Well informed staff make the meals a real learning curve with each dish being explained. The cutlery and glassware were sparkling, and the toilets keeping the standards high. I am an ex Hotel and Restaurant Inspector, and with food of this quality, I look forward to them opening in Totnes High Street.
The tour was led by Rachel who had a wonderful knowledge and kept us amused and interested. The wines tasted gave us a deep insight into their approach to producing these superb English wines. We came home with four bottles! Thank you for making our visit so memorable.

My wife and I did a vineyard Safari at the weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent, informative and interesting host, Mark, took us through the wine making process, and we enjoyed four very different wines. Thoroughly recommended.

Took my Sisters dog up for a walk along the nature trail. Beautiful place with amazing scenery and very informative placards along the way, telling you all about the place. Would be great for primary school day trips!

For the adults, I got myself a bottle of pinot noir and some cider ? The shop is full of some lovely treats, books, cheeses, chutneys, etc. Reasonably priced, you get what you pay for. Cider is lovely!

The staff were also very kind and helpful. Will be visiting again to support this local treasure. 10/10

Had an absolutely wonderful time doing their self guided wine tasting experience! The wine was wonderful (definitely try the grand reserve brut) and definitely order the cheese flight or cheese board if you're hungry!
I am so pleased we found out about Sandridge with it being open for only 6 weeks as there no doubt they are going to be so busy!
Had such a fantastic experience and was transported to the vineyard's of Italy, an absolute must do!

A fabulous winery in rural Devon.

We were greeted by a lovely young person who offered us a taste of any wines we were interested in and showed us the winery, restaurant and shop.

We tasted several wines, and a couple were very much to our taste, so we.bought a mixed case.

Can't wait to try their cheeses too.

A high standard of freshly chef-prepared food at Circa, with excellent presentation and based on variety and of local seasonal ingredients, served by very friendly and informed staff in comfortable informal country surroundings. However, service of the sequence of items for a small shared lunch for two was slow, with the first two of four items taking a total of about an hour to be served. Apart from we two there was only one other table of about twelve guests.

Elsewhere, in the vineyard sampling building, the wine tasting was excellent
