Blackbook Winery

I booked as the reviews looked great online and bought this as a gift for my friends 30th Birthday. Very unpleasant experience. I would not advise visiting, it is the worst wine tasting and tour experience I have been to. We were stood in a freezing cold corrugated iron warehouse which was very mouldy. Not much to see, 4 wines to taste, hardly an enjoyable tour/tasting experience. A waste of money. Very unpleasant tasting wine, the first one tasted like cider, as it was an unfiltered sparkling wine but it smelt like apple cider vinegar, the venue was unsanitary, very unsatisfactory experience. I would advise you to save your money. If youd like to venture out to a very good value wine tasting, Id recommend others Ive been to much cheaper that offer tours of their vineyards, show you how their wines are made, more wines to taste, in the Chiltern valley where you can taste wines in comfort with snacks such as crackers and cheeses which compliment the wines.

A friend treated us to the tour at Blackbook Winery and it made for a really interesting hour. It's incredible what they produce in an arch underneath a railway track, but goes to show with passion and drive you can achieve anything anywhere. It was great to learn about UK wines and to taste the different varieties being produced. We especially loved the chardonnay and have enjoyed a bottle at home already - the other bottle we will save for a special occasion as it really is that good.

We went on the winery tour yesterday with Sergio for my friend's birthday. Such an interesting guy who is super knowledgeable about wine production and passionate about UK produced wine. He put up with us asking hundreds of questions too! Looking forward to drinking the two bottles I bought to take home
