Guided Tastings

We offer Guided Tastings at the Cellar Door comprising of a range of packages as follows:

BRONZE: English Wine – 2 Whites, 1 Rosé, 1 Red

SILVER: English Wine & Mead – 2 Whites, 1 Rosé, 1 Red, 1 Sparkling, 1 Mead

GOLD: English Wine, Mead & Spirits – 2 Whites, 1 Rosé, 1 Red, 2 Sparkling, 1 Mead, 1 Rum or Gin

Guided Tastings typically last between 1 – 2 hours, depending on which package you choose.

We will talk you through each wine, how to taste, where the grapes are grown, how it is made and give you a few tips on selecting wine in a shop or restaurant.

Each guest also receives winemaker notes on each of the wines sampled and their own Lyme Bay Winery tote bag.

After the tasting, you can have a browse of the Cellar Door shop and enjoy a 10% guest discount on any Lyme Bay goodies that you buy on the day!

We normally require two weeks’ notice for a Guided Tasting, however, we can sometimes accommodate you with less notice, so please just email us  [email protected].uk with your preferred date.  Please note that sadly due to “no-shows”, tastings of more than three people are subject to pre-payment.

Steve and Sarah – the aforementioned wonderful staff – fling open the Cellar Door every Monday to Saturday 9.30am-4.30pm (closed for staff lunch 12.30-1) and Sunday 11am-3pm where visitors can sample many of our products and ask our knowledgeable staff any questions you like. Just five miles from the coast, the Lyme Bay Winery Cellar Door is a stone’s throw away from the quaint town of Axminster, and numerous East Devon delights.
