点评:Spent a long time researching the best UK vineyard to visit for my husband’s significant birthday and was not disappointed by my choice. The Balfour Estate looks class from the minute of arrival in the car park. Beautiful and interesting art adds to the ambience in the restaurant enhanced by the lovely views of the nearby vines and the countryside/woods surrounding. The choice of 6 items sharing platter we had at lunch was way more than enough for two and had some really tasty items with very generous additions of bread/crackers too. Ben was a very charming and professional host who kindly offered us complimentary drinks for my husband’s birthday. At 2pm we were welcomed by Lindy to our pre-booked wine tasting of 6 Balfour wines. What a wonderful time we had! We happened to be the only ones booked and were privileged to hear some of the history of Balfour, the correct way to taste wines, plus a description of the wines on offer from Lindy, who was also very patient in hearing about some of our previous wine experiences around the world. What a delightful lady she is, so glad we chose Balfour for our tasting. Liked the Bacchus and one of the roses enough to purchase and the afternoon ended with a lovely coffee outside in the sun with Ben’s compliments again for my husband’s birthday. Would def visit again and do the tour. Well done everyone for making his day special.
