Wine Tours & Tastings
Friendly, informative and fun
We provide private wine tours and tastings throughout the year, offering a unique behind-the-scenes view of our vineyard and winery.
Our tours are led by experienced and WSET qualified guides; they’re very informative but most of all, fun!, making it perfect for a big group who is looking to learn about English viticulture and wine making, but also so have a great time together.
During your tour, you’ll visit one of our vineyards (weather permitting) before heading inside the winery to see the grape-pressing area, the fermentation tanks, the barrel room, the sparkling room and the bottling line. Guests will be offered 6 different samples of our award-winning wines to taste as you go.
It’s a fantastic way to get a group of friends, family or colleagues together, celebrate, and taste some English wines!
Private tours can also be offered in French, Italian or Spanish.
Make it cheesy! Our Wine & Cheese Tours include a shorter visit of the vineyard, followed by a tutored tasting of our wines accompanied by an individual platter of delicious British cheese. Guests taste 6 wines in total.

Wine & Theatre
A unique wine, dinner and show experience
We teamed up with the prestigious theatre The Mill at Sonning to offer a full experience that your guests will love: a private Wine Tour & Tasting at the vineyard, followed by a delicious 2-course buffet dinner and a professional theatrical production in the charming The Mill, a historical building which houses a 19th century water-wheel which is still in motion!

Wine Quiz
Test your friends' wine knowledge!
Another very fun and engaging alternative for a staff day out or for family and friends, is our Wine Quiz.
This is a ver lively and entertaining event to put the group’s general wine knowledge to the test. The quiz consists of rounds of questions about wine’s style, geography, history and general knowledge related with wine – they span from something like where does a particular grape variety grows, to what celebrity own a vineyard in certain region or in which country a certain wine producing area is located. Participants don’t need to be experts to win!
Add a drinks and food package for a complete evening! Please contact our team at tours@stanlakepark.com if you want to organise your own Wine Quiz.

Virtual Wine Tastings
The best option when distance gets in the middle
The most popular option during the pandemic, a Virtual Wine Tasting might still be very appealing to get together staff, friends or family living in very distant places.
Run in collaboration with expert Abbie Bennington from ABV Tastings, our online wine tastings follow the same friendly, fun and relax approach than our standard vineyard tours.
We have a wide range of English wines for your tasting – from white, rosé and red to delicious bubbles, all made in our winery in Berkshire using our own grapes. You can choose how many and which wines to include in your tasting, and we deliver everywhere in the UK. Add British cheese and crackers to your event and make it even more attractive!
We can offer a great deal of flexibility for a corporate or private tasting, including weekdays, weekends or evenings. The length of the activity can also be adapted to your needs.
