Each year, we produce a small amount of limited-edition and still wines. These are rarely found beyond our cellar door, yet each tells a special story about our fruit and winemaking. In this hour-long tasting, you’ll sample four of our rarest wines – for example,  our single vineyard sparkling, our sought-after still Pinot Noir or our rich and complex late-disgorged wines. 

Our still wines are the epitome of Gusbourne craftsmanship and care. We produce these wines only in the best vintages using the highest quality fruit. 

This masterclass, hosted by Winemaker Tom Jones, is a fascinating way to explore our range of still wines – from their production to how they taste in the glass. The event begins with a guided tour of our winery, where Tom will share his insights into how we make our still wines.

We’ll then sit down for a detailed masterclass, tasting current releases and cellar-aged library vintages of our Pinot Noir, Chardonnay Guinevere and Chardonnay 809 wines.

After the tutored tasting, you’ll enjoy a delicious three-course menu, showcasing fantastic local ingredients and paired with Gusbourne wines.

This event begins at 12 noon with a drink to welcome you to The Nest. We expect the day to be concluded by 3.30pm and recommend that taxi arrangements are made in advance.

Join Laura Rhys, Master Sommelier and Gusbourne Global Ambassador, to discover the art of blending and for the first time, gain a behind the scenes look at the processes that go into creating our award-winning wines. You will even have the opportunity to put together your very own blend.

Laura achieved Master Sommelier status from the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2010, joining only a handful in the world, of which only 34 are women. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge having worked as a sommelier in some of the finest establishments in the UK and through over 10 years of judging national and international wine competitions, as well as her six years with Gusbourne. Laura works closely with Head Winemaker Charlie Holland in crafting the blends for our wines each year.

At this event, you'll be based in our cosy tasting room that overlooks the vines as Laura guides you through how the different varieties and clones that we grow throughout our vineyards can produce an array of different blending components from each year. Hone in your senses with a breakdown of the different flavours and characteristics that you will find in our finished wines before piecing them back together through blending a selection of our 2021 base wines to create your very own unique and final blend. Compare your creation with a preview of our very own 2021 final blend which will be exclusively prepared for you by Laura and Charlie. Your day will conclude with lunch served with Gusbourne wine.

Please note that tasting base wines in their infancy offers a different tasting experience to the final product and so these wines will showcase much higher acidity than from the final wine, which will undergo a second fermentation and lees ageing over the course of a few years. This experience is intended for educational purposes and is well suited to guests who wish to learn the art of blending and winemaking in a beautiful setting. Spaces are limited to a total of 12 guests to allow for an inclusive experience.

On arrival at 11am, you will be welcomed by Laura with an aperitif before being seated for your masterclass and lunch. We expect the day to be concluded by 2:30pm. We recommend making any taxi arrangements in advance.

Harvest is one of the most exciting times to visit. This is a Discovery Tour with a twist - we seek out opportunities for you to step behind the scenes and see what happens at Gusbourne during the grape harvest. 

During your tour, you may be able to taste our fully ripened grapes straight from the vine before the bunches are picked and sent to the winery for pressing. Our pickers may be in action where you can observe them working their way down the rows of vines, picking each and every bunch of grapes by hand. Then, as you head back to The Nest for your lunch and tasting, you may see the grapes coming into the winery fresh from the vineyards and even taste some of the juice straight from the press. This is the juice that will become Gusbourne’s 2022 vintage.

The format of the tour is based on our regular Discovery Tour, in which you'll arrive for a hosted tour of the vineyards and winery, followed by a tutored tasting in the Nest, including some special wines that don’t feature in our standard hosted tour. We will then serve a lunch composed of small seasonal plates, designed to complement the wines.

Please note, harvest takes place in accordance with the weather and the vineyard manager’s skilled assessment of the optimum time to pick the grapes. We cannot guarantee you will be able to experience all of these harvest activities during your visit due to the variability of nature and its effect on processes in the vineyard and winery. 

Some of our most prestigious wines are those that have developed on their lees inside the bottle over an extended period of time. Spending up to and in excess of around 8 years before disgorgement, these wines are incredibly rare and through this slow and gentle process, acquire a uniquely rich and complex range of flavours. We meticulously taste each wine through this development to ensure that it is released at the perfect moment.

In celebration of this, we invite you to join Winemaker Alastair Benham for a special winery tasting and four-course dining experience at The Nest. Throughout the day you will enjoy a selection of wines, each with different qualities from extended lees aging. This will include the exclusive addition of our new-release Brut Reserve 2015 Late Disgorged. These fantastic wines will be tasted amongst tank and barrel within our winery, and set within a carefully paired tasting menu showcasing some of the finest of local ingredients.

Guests will be welcomed at 12pm with a reception drink in the Nest before commencing the winery tasting experience, being seated afterwards for our lunch in our tasting rooms. We expect the day to be concluded by 4pm and recommend that taxi arrangements are made in advance. Additional wines will be available by the bottle or glass after your experience if you wish to enjoy the space a little longer. Our estate will close at 5pm.

Our Late Disgorged wines are some of our most complex and interesting. These special vintage wines have been aged on their lees for almost a decade. As they mature, gently gaining depth and complexity, we regularly taste them to see how they’re developing. When they’re judged to be perfectly balanced, the wines are released.

This year, we’re delighted to unveil a series of limited-edition Late Disgorged wines, including for the first time our prestigious Blanc de Noirs. To mark their release, we’re holding a special winery tasting and three-course dining experience, hosted by Winemaker Alastair Benham.

Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy a selection of wines, each with different qualities gained from extended lees ageing. You’ll sample these amongst the tanks and barrels in the winery as well as in our tasting room through a tutored masterclass. This will be followed by a delicious, three-course seasonal menu accompanied by carefully paired wines.

This special library lunch, hosted by Chief Winemaker Charlie Holland, is new to our events calendar this year. Since our first vintage in 2006, we have laid down a small proportion of our wines to gently age over time with the view to studying their ageing potential. In the optimum conditions of our cellars, our wines have developed rich and complex characteristics. For some older vintages, we think there's even more potential for ageing too, as Charlie will discuss. 

Settle into our tasting room, The Hide, as Charlie takes you on a journey through the vintages with his specially selected wines. You'll hear his recollections about the vintage conditions, along with his considered view on how the wines have developed. The chosen bottles will be expertly partnered with a seasonal three-course lunch, created by Head Chef Anthony Coppard. This is a real glimpse into the winemaking past, and future potential, of Gusbourne. An unmissable event for those who enjoy exploring the ageing potential of English fine wine. 

This experience begins at 12.15pm and we expect the day to be concluded by 3.30pm. We recommend that you make any taxi arrangements in advance.
