The Chilford Hall Vineyard tour and tasting is extremely popular with visitors, event guests and wine related interest groups and justifiably so. At the 2007 East Anglian Wine Awards Chilford Hall was proud to receive seven awards, our most prolific showing in recent years.
The Chilford Sparkling Rosé 2002 was the outstanding success of the event securing the Gold Medal and the Spear Trophy before being declared winner of the prestigious Wine of the Year Trophy.
The popular Schönburger 2006 also claimed a Gold Medal and the Berwich Trophy while the Chilford Dry 2006 won a Silver Medal. Bronze Medals were awarded for the Chilford Medium Dry 2006 and the Chilford Medium 2006 wines.
The tour begins in the Winery and the entire wine making process is explained from the management of the vine, the pruning and picking of the grapes, through to the processing, fermentation, blending and bottling. You may also follow one of the Vineyard Trails to see how the vines are grown.
At the end of the tour you will be invited to the Vineleaf Café and Shop where our expert guide will explain the subtle difference between wines and the features to look for when making your choices. Thereafter, you will be invited to sample a variety of Chilford Hall's award winning wines.
