Lovely shop here, and a nice welcome. There is always something scrumptious on the menu, and a lovely setting. A dependable choice More

The wine was much better than I'd anticipated that it would be and we bought three bottles - one of each colour. Alas the tour is just a five min dvd down in the cellar, so dont expect to have a question & answer session. All the wine making had been done late last year, so didnt get to see... More

The tour was nothing more than sitting in a room watching a rather old video then we went down to the wine making area but couldn't find the light switch so didn't see much. The wine tasting was looked forward to but very poor quality. We didn't buy any thing and the range in the cafe was very limited. Run... More

Arrived late-ish in the day and there was nothing going on at all. I would have been up for a tour but this wasn't mentioned by the person on duty, although it was on a chalk board, so I left it. Wine ranged from £7.99-£9.99, with sparking at about £19.99 I think, perhaps I'm a couple of pounds out. The... More

As wine merchants we reckoned that this was a great opportunity to give the isle of Wight wines some free marketing back in good old blighty. Our intentions were to buy wine on a commercial basis to sell to our London and nationwide customers, plus we thought we would also publicise the unique story behind this site through Harpers wine...

A little extension to the farmhouse is the cafe and shop - tiny and would be heaving if 20 people were in there. Fortunately only myself and my wife during this visit. I didn't even realise there was a member of staff sitting by the till as they were so quiet - didn't even welcome us in, despite there being... More
