Visiting Jersey for a week mid-May. Had been the previous year but unable to go. Sadly, it did not live up to expectation. My partner enjoys vineyards and knows her wine. We drove over and all is pitched at a vineyard tour - steeping through the gate there is a till with large signs pushing the (relatively expensive) tour. All... More

WWe were in Jersey for a short break during Jersey Food Week and decided to book on the 'behind the scenes' trip at the winery. We were met by the manager, and after a short introduction, introduced to the chocolatier, who is obviously very interested in chocolate. He gave an excellent demonstration and we were able to taste lots of... More

By the time you've driven up there, actually found the place and got to the entrance shed you feel like paying no matter what. Well it's not worth the money, especially when you see the prices in their own shop and cafe. The tour was OK, but not up to the price, especially when you realise you have just paid... More

This is more than just a Wine Estate dominated by The Estate House. Wine, apple brandy, chocolate and jams were the products produced from the vineyards and orchards. Entrance fee was £10.50 for a senior citizen. This covered a talk about the history of the house and then a visit to a small cinema where the video was shown and... More

19 pounds entrance fee to this place, even if you just want a quick stroll and coffee in their restaurant, but not the tour. 1.50 pounds for a small tasting glass in the shop, which they magnanimously refund should you buy a bottle. Certainly save your money, and have a nice dinner somewhere for about the same price, or come... More

OK, so at the start of the tour our guide told us that this was only his 4th tour, so we should cut him some slack... but... he really wasn't very good. He basically kept telling us that they had to do various things to the wine/brandy etc so that they could 'sell it for a high price'. This may... More

La Mare is a beautiful 17th Century granite farmhouse which houses a complex that makes wines, calvados and chocolate using the produce grown on site. You can enjoy tasting sessions (the apple liquer is particularly good) and take tours of the vineyards and brewing areas. The shop is a great place to pick up delicious souvenirs including Jersey Black Butter.... More

My friend and I went to la Mare for lunch. A lovely setting. We were seated at a window table with great views of the vineyard. The restaurant is lovely, sort of a modern rustic design. Thats the end of the thins to recommend to you. There was a very noisy dispute taking place in the kitchen which was surprising... More

Arrived to a unspoilt non tacky attraction. Took the tour and found this good value for money with tastings of three wines, cream liquer, fudge and chocolate - how much would this cost. The guide although not the best was courteous and informative. Spent some time afterwards relaxing in the ground. Just disappointed we did not use the cafe as... More

After paying the £8.50 , I was looking forward to the tour and the tastings.how disappointed our group were. The very tiny amounts of 3 different wines we tasted were not that nice and the woman showing us around told us about the very small brandy production they had there but told us all that we could not have a...
