    Wonderful trip to Balfour Winery for a little anniversary celebration. Food was lovely, wine delicious and staff were so friendly. Highly recommend sitting outside with a bottle of wine if it's sunny.

    An amazing place to visit! Came for the tasting and stayed for lunch but would definitely revisit for lunch. The tasting was great particularly if you like rosé. Really knowledgeable staff. Waiters etc all so friendly too. Loved the build-your-own plate and the lamb flatbread was outstanding. We shared one of each between 4 of us and it was perfect. The pick up shuttle is great too between the station (no set timetable, just leaves when it’s full/no one else)

    The place is beautiful. I would go there more often if I lived nearby. We got the wine tasting package to try different white and rose varieties. I was impressed with the taste and quality. The views, the service and even the food made our experience great. I definitely recommend going here.

    We came here to do the wine tasting and tour on a Saturday. The shuttle service was good aside from not being able to get in the first so having to wait (not long) but meant we missed the start of the tour. The grounds were lovely and the venue itself is in a great location. The wine tasting was 6 wines 3 sparkling which were lovely, 3 still which were not to my liking. However for £65 I expected a cheese pairing (which you get at other winery’s for much less) however this was not the case. Overall it was okay but not worth the money and I definitely think there are better value vineyards in the area.
