Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a gem on our doorstep! Birthday present as I like wine & it was perfect. Langham is a small but expanding vineyard producing the highest quality sparkling wines. So don’t expect cheap plonk.
We enjoyed it so much, we’re thinking about helping pick next years crop.
The on-site cafe/restaurant was excellent as lunch was part of my gift. The staff were very welcoming & efficient & our guide Gail was very knowledgeable & entertaining.
I would highly recommend a visit to either the cafe or guided tour or both. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

We chose the morning tour of the vineyard and we were lucky enough to arrive on a beautifully clear, frosty morning - so the setting was close to perfect. Our tour guide Emma was amusing, engaging and very knowledgable about the wine making process and the history of the vineyard, from initial planting of the vines, cultivation and harvesting of the grapes through to maturing and bottling of the wine. We all (including our two teenagers) enjoyed the tour and found it very educational. The tour finished with a tasting of some of the sparkling wines made on the premises all were excellent - so good that we bought four. We would certainly recommend the tour - we will surely return.
Our thanks to the Langham Vineyard, our guide Emma and all of the Staff for a very enjoyable visit

My wife and I went for a tour of the Vineyard with the wine tasting. We had lunch before the tour which was a good choice. The food was amazing. I had a lovely chorizo and bean cassoulet which was earthy and the sourdough bread was the perfect companion for the sauce My wife had the baked seabass which was excellent. Our starters were very good as well. Fresh and local produce too. This was very well accompanied by the Blanc du Blanc. A very nice wine.
The tour was brilliant and we were lucky with the weather. Emma the tour guide was very knowledgeable and her pride and passion for the estate was evident. There was so much that I have learnt from the tour regarding grapes, what they need to thrive and the fermentation/ bottling process. This was finished off with the excellent wine tasting. The three wines that are tasted were really good with good descriptions around their palate and what they would accompany as a food pairing.
Overall we were made to feel welcome, learnt a lot and got to try some excellent local wines. Reminds me of why I love sparkling English Wine. Would highly recommend.

Visited Langham with my adult children to celebrate a birthday. The visit was very interesting and informative and our guide was very knowledgeable. We spent about 30 mins in the vineyard and then moved between various barns to learn about the process before going into the cafe for the tasting. Fortunately the weather was fine so it wasn't too cold. The wines were delicious and we did buy a bottle at the end, although there is no pressure to do so. Would definitely recommend this experience.

We opted for the pre-tour lunch in the lovely cafe - three courses with a glass of their sparkling Blanc de Blanc's - all very good.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and amusing - we both learnt a lot and came away with a real appreciation of this excellent small vineyard. The tour ended with a tasting of three if their sparking wines - all excellent and distinctive.

We had a fantastic time at the vineyard - the weather was awful as we drove there so was slightly dreading the prospect of walking around a soggy vineyard. On arrival we waited in a really lovely cosy cafe and enjoyed a coffee and probably one of the best hot chocolates I have ever had - it was delicious!
Our tour started - we were a really small group - 3x couples but it was great - we all had a keen interest and Emma our guide could not have been more welcoming and knowledgable.
Emma was really passionate about the business and processes and had stories to tell that made the tour fun and memorable, it was obvious Emma had a lot of experience and knowledge about the industry etc - it was great to be in the hands of such an expert.
We stayed for lunch and the food etc was excellent .. a small menu but well presented and very tasty.
Overall a great time and look forward to visiting in a new season.

I was given a tour as a gift for my birthday, we have been on other winery tours and this one did not disappoint! A delicious lunch beforehand followed by a brilliant tour both interesting and engaging. The wines were just as good and we purchased s bottle to enjoy at home, would highly recommend!

We were on holiday in the area & decided to book a tour & tasting on a whim as something a bit different to try. Neither of us knew much about wine or were overly interested but I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations & then some! Emma our guide was thoroughly entertaining & incredibly informative without it ever becoming overloaded. We found ourselves fascinated by the process & the experience of tasting the wines guided by a professional. If you are a wine aficionado or, like me, usually pick a bottle in the supermarket based on which has the nicest label...I can whole heartedly recommend this tour. It's a beautiful vineyard & the people who work there are clearly passionate about what they do & it shines through. You can do a self guided tour which I'm sure is lovely too but if you have the time definitely go for the guided, you won't be dissapointed. (Failing all that just go for the lovely cafe, the straw clad barn in the Summer is utterly charming)

we booked the self guided tour as we were holidaying with our dog. It is a great little tour, clearly signposted directions with informative notes about the grapes being grown and the terroir. Of course the best bit was tasting the wine at the end of the tour. We were made to feel very welcome and the guy hosting the tours was very informative and genuinely friendly. We had a light lunch which was great and the service brilliant, If you are in Dorset, this a really great place to visit and I would highly recommend it

Thinking of doing the self guided tour, how long should we allow to walk around as the taster sessions starts at 3pm!
Hi Jess, the self guided tour is designed so that you may plan your day to your own schedule. Feel free to walk around the vineyard for as short or a long a time as you like, either before or after the tasting session. I would suggest around 30-40 minutes, but bear in mind that we have 29 acres of vines here at Langham so you could spend quite a while wandering about on a nice day!

Hi
Do you allow dogs anywhere on the estate?

Hi Jason
Yes well-behaved dogs are allowed in the cafe and if you pay for a tour, also in the vineyard.
Many thanks for your enquiry, we look forward to seeing you at the Estate soon.

Hi does anyone know if kids can visit? One is two years old and the other is three.
Hello,
Children are indeed welcome - we have a high chair if you need to borrow one, in our cafe area. We also have some charity kids activity packs (puzzles and colouring books), that can be purchased should they need extra entertainment.
Hope to see you soon at Langham's!
