Sample itinerary and pricelist

Our food

We are advocates for sustainability and provenance when it comes to food, and wherever possible we champion the beautiful produce that is available on our doorstep. Enjoyed with wine made on site with grapes from our own vineyards, the ingredients and dishes that we serve represent the best of the Garden of England’s impressive gastronomic offerings.

We design our menus to complement the wines we will serve, and we are always able to adapt them based on specific requirements or dietary needs.

Example three-course lunch menu

• Torched cured mackerel, pickled kohlrabi, wasabi emulsion, cucumber, dill oil, pomegranate
  Gusbourne Chardonnay 809 2020
• Miso and lemon glazed chicken supreme, Japanese slaw, broad beans, crispy noodles, seaweed salt
  Gusbourne Blanc de Noirs 2018
• Peach, poached in Gusbourne Rosé 2018 and thyme, lemon and poppyseed frangipane, raspberry meringue, crushed pistachio, fresh cream, basil
  Gusbourne Rosé 2018

Our facilities

We can accommodate group sizes of 8 people to 40 people for private corporate events, in two inside spaces. These are where we will seat you for tutored tastings, lunches or dinners.

• The Nest tasting room can seat up to 20 people around a large central table, and has a balcony overlooking our Boot Hill vineyard.
• The Hide tasting room can seat up to 20 people around two tables, and has a balcony overlooking our Boot Hill vineyard and internal window overlooking our winery.
  Note that these are two separate tasting rooms and cannot be converted to one large room.

We have a range of outdoor spaces that can be incorporated into your visit, which we recommend for use between April and October as these are weather-dependent. Canapés can be served at these locations alongside our wines, either in an informal standing reception context, or seated for a more formal tutored tasting. They are located a short walk from our inside spaces; electric buggies can be used to transport guests as an alternative to walking.

• Boot Hill garden can seat up to 42 people on tables of 6 under large canvas stretch tents, which are open-sided, positioned amongst the vines. This is located a 10 minute walk from the inside spaces.
• Boot Hill decking can seat up to 16 people on a large table underneath a magnificent oak tree nestled amongst the vines. This is located a 10 minute walk from the inside spaces.
• Commanders decking can seat up to 24 people on 4 tables of 6, underneath a large oak tree in our Commanders vineyard. This is located a 15-20 minute walk through vineyards from the inside spaces.

Audio visual equipment such as LCD TV screens, laptops, speakers and microphones can be provided on request for an additional cost.

If you or one of your party have restricted walking ability, please contact us in advance of your visit, and we’ll make arrangements for you to be as comfortable as possible, such as using our golf buggies to take you around the vineyards. Both our private inside spaces are accessed via a flight of stairs, with no lift access available.

Sustainability

At Gusbourne, we continually strive to ensure our practices are kind to the world around us. As such, we are delighted to be a founding member of the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain initiative set up to encourage English and Welsh wineries to ensure their practices are as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. We proud to be one of the first vineyards in the UK to achieve the SWGB accreditation.

Faq

• Dress code. Our guided tours involve walking over uneven (and sometimes muddy) ground. We would encourage you to bring stout shoes or boots that are comfortable for walking in, and coats and umbrellas if it looks like rain. Please contact us in advance of your visit if you or one of your party have restricted walking ability. We will spend as much time in the vineyard as the weather allows, and we also have plenty of space under cover, so your visit will still go ahead in inclement weather.
• Confirmation. Confirmation of numbers and dietary requirements must be finalised with 14 days’ notice.
• Payment. We will invoice the person who completes the booking, unless otherwise notified and payment is due on receipt of invoice. We require payment in advance of the event in order to confirm the reservation, but we are happy to make changes up to 7 days before the booking date, based on the number of people attending, menu choices etc.
• Dietary requirements. We like to offer wines to complement our menus; as such we do not offer menus for each guest to select from, but a set menu enjoyed by the whole party. Please do let us know the dietary requirements of your guests in advance, and we will be happy to cater for these.
• Soft drinks and water. Complimentary still and sparkling water is provided for all guests, and for non-drinkers, a range of juices and sparkling cordials are available.
• Responsible drinking. As a vineyard, it is our policy to encourage responsible drinking and our licensing requires that we do not serve alcohol to those that appear to be intoxicated.
• Cloakroom. We provide cloakroom facilities for storage of coats and bags as standard.
• Timings. Our standard opening hours are 10am-5pm and the last departure from Gusbourne during a daytime visit is 5pm. Evening events and later departure times can be accommodated on request. For evening events, our latest departure time is 9.30pm.
