The Tasting Room
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Wine-lovers' paradise with food to match."
Overview
In a peaceful rural location but still easy to reach from the M4, The Vineyard is a wine-lover’s haven, with an impressive 30,000-bottle wine cellar, including wines from the award-winning estate of owner Sir Peter Michael. Comfortable lounges lead into the stylish restaurant, and thence to The Tasting Room, a smaller space with just 28 covers. Richly decorated in tones of chocolate, bronze and gold, you can expect a ‘sensory journey’ as you explore the seasonal multi-course tasting menu. This is modern British cooking with some Californian influences, and wine is as much a part of the experience as the food.
