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 their 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.
