BALFOUR ART AND WINE TOUR

BALFOUR ART AND WINE TOUR

The relationship between wine and art is a fascinatingly intricate one and producing a portfolio of award-winning wines is an artform in itself.

The importance of art and the inspiration we can take from it is reflected within our wonderful tasting room “The View” and throughout the grounds of the Estate, where we are incredibly lucky to have a selection of beautiful pieces of art and sculpture from Richard and Leslie Balfour-Lynn’s own private collection on display.

Join one of our knowledgeable Balfour Ambassadors who will guide you around our Cellar Door where you will learn the story behind our most significant pieces of artwork and sculpture, whilst enjoying a glass of Balfour Brut Rosé.

This will be followed by a tutored tasting, upstairs on our private mezzanine, of 3 Balfour wines, Jake’s beers or ciders.

Please note that the tasting part of the tour will be held on our upstairs mezzanine level which is only accessible via stairs. If you have specific access requirements, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance on 01622 832794.

Please note that children under 10 are not permitted on guided tours and only visitors over the age of 18 will be able to taste the wine, beer or cider available.
