As our guests, you will be able to spend an afternoon at Astley Vineyard, one of the oldest in the UK, with transport provided there and back, courtesy of The Nest.  Join the Haywood family as they share their passion and tell their stories about the vineyard, then walk with them through their beautiful wooded valley, amongst their 5 acres of vines. These intimate and informative tours are completed with a guided tasting of three of their award winning boutique wines, alongside a sampling of delicious local produce.
