Royal Jubilee Tour - Thursday 2nd & Saturday 4th June
Our Jubilee Tour celebrates the best of British in a year which marks The Queen’s 70-year reign and our 50th anniversary. Since our very start, we have been pioneers of English wine and been a part of some very special British events. Join one of our Jubilee Tours on 2nd and 4th June 2022 to discover more and celebrate this historic year with us. Begin with a 45-minute guided tour of our estate, including the chance to meander through the vines and explore our state-of-the-art winery. Then, indulge in a tasting featuring a very special line up of wines and spirits. These include the first English wines to be served at Wimbledon and enjoyed in BA’s first-class lounge, Bolney’s popular Pinot Noir, and, of course, no Jubilee tasting would be complete without The Queen’s favourite tipple, Gin. Then, enjoy a feast fit for royalty with a perfectly packed picnic to enjoy in one of our picnic areas nestled around the vines, or to take it away. Included is a bottle of Lychgate wine of your choice, and quintessential delights from classic picnic sandwiches to flavourful mini quiches & sausage rolls, and fluffy scones with indulgent cream & jam. The perfect celebration for the long weekend with friends and family in the heart of Sussex. Picnics are perfectly suited for sharing so we encourage booking in couples. https://bolneywineestate.com/product/royal-jubilee-tour
