Vineyard tours and a tasting-led outing / DORKING

Denbies Wine Estate

Choose a booked experience at Denbies when you want to give the vineyard proper time. Indoor tours and tastings offer a different visit from outdoor vineyard experiences, and the estate’s programme changes through the year. Pick the format that interests you, then leave room for a meal or a look around the visitor facilities.

Before you go

Visitor-centre opening is not the same as availability on a tour. Prebook the experience you want and arrange transport that does not depend on driving after a tasting.

The practical details

Access and getting around: The estate has designated parking near the main entrance and loan wheelchairs subject to availability. Ask about the exact indoor or outdoor tour route, boarding arrangements and facilities before booking.
