An amazing tour - An excellent tour, and in our case, a great activity on what was a horrible day outside, weather-wise. Our guide Ricky was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the history of the the company and the cellar itself. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is even remotely interested in wine & champagne - the cellar is incredible! If we lived closer we'd certainly be putting a group of friends together to book a dinner in the underground dining room too.

Historic Tour - Our tour guide Ricky, was informative & at times a great sense of humour, The history is amazing. Really enjoyed our time, learned a lot & we got to have a complimentary tasting (4 wines) after the tour. Well worth the fee $20 Senior. Well done National Trust for saving this historic building & grounds. Thanks again Ricky. ❤️ Les & Phil
