Get a fine wine tour in Blighty

`Valley View

You don’t have to go all the way to France to enjoy fine wine.

Three Choirs Vineyard in Gloucestershire is one of England’s most awarded single estate wine producers, a real British success story.

The vineyard now offers wine tours that give visitors the chance to see how fine English wine is produced while enjoying breathtaking views of the vine-clad valley (above).

And you can make a holiday of it with an overnight stay in one of the vineyard’s eight hotel rooms or three luxury lodges. There’s also an award-winning restaurant serving a menu of seasonal and local produce.

The chief winemaker Martin Fowke has twice been awarded UK Winemaker of the Year.

There’s more to a visit than wine too. Gloucester Cathedral, famously featured in the Harry Potter films, which is free entry and has a daily evening song is close by, as are the historic Gloucester docks, now a vibrant centre of museums and shops.
