Lokkelebery Vineyard Tour
Join us for a delightful visit to Lokkelebery Vineyard! Get ready to explore the beautiful young vineyard at Lockley Farm, and see how the project is progressing. This in-person event is perfect for wine enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, but also those seeking to discover the new vineyard on their doorsteps.
During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to stroll through the young vineyard, surrounded by the rolling Hertfordshire hills. Learn about the intricate process of viticulture and wine production from our vineyard manager, who will share her passion and knowledge.
Discover the secrets behind learning to grow grapes, from the planting and harvesting of the grapes to the delicate art of winemaking which will soon follow. Learn about the symbotic relationship between agriculture, viticulture and nature at the farm. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the picturesque moments throughout the visit.
As you wander through the vineyard, learn about Lokkelebery's preparation for their first ever harvest in 2024. Lokkelebery's unique exhibition space will take you through the key milestones of the vineyards history to date.
Finally enjoy a delicious cake and coffee from our horsebox café while taking in the vineyard views.
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or simply curious about the world of English viticulture, the Lokkelebery Vineyard Tour offers a unique view into the life of a young vineyard.
