An excellent tour and tasting of gorgeous wines - Absolutely brilliant tour and tasting. We discovered Oastbrook by chance as we were camping down the road. America's tour was fabulous! Accompanied by Lora the dog we walked amongst the vines and learnt so much about growing techniques, varieties, the life of a vineyard etc. All questions were welcomed and America's passion amd knowledge was incredible. Tastings with Nick in their beautiful building overlooking the vineyard was excellent. We couldn't resist buying the chardonnay, rose and sparkling rose. The cheeseboard accompaniment was welcome too and again Nicks knowledge and passion for sharing their business was plain to see. Highly recommend

Great afternoon with great wine - Had a lovely afternoon at Oastbrook estate. Started with a tour in the vineyard with America who explained how the grapes are lovingly grown with sometimes a bit too much information but it’s lovely to see her passion for the hard work she dies to make the wine .. the second part is a tasting with Nick in the beautiful tasting barn.. overall A very nice afternoon .. America and Nick work so hard to produce a really great assortment of wines.. we went with our adult kids and their partners and they enjoyed it too

We’ll worth it! - Firstly, we stayed in a glamping tent - what a great experience and genuinely the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! Next day we did the vineyard tour which was not only very informative but America made it highly amusing with her various stories. Then on to the wine tasting itself which Nick made equally interesting (oh, and the wine was great too!). Loved it.

Stunning setting, wines and hosts! Highly recommend. - The first time we visited we learnt so much about the wonderful owner America & her husband Nick and the wine making process from beginning to end. We explored the grounds, met Loira the super cute dog and tasted some fabulous English wines. The cheese we had along with the wine was delicious and the facilities were top notch. I’d love to spend more time here!

Wine tour not be missed - Beautiful location and wine exceeded expectations. The owner, America, is a great host, very knowledgeable and passionate about English wine. Definitely worth a visit to try some excellent English white wine, Pinot Gris, (fabulous, not to be mistaken for Pinot Grigio!!) and sparkling Rose made in the traditional method and dare I say, better than Champagne!. Enjoy the experience, we certainly did!

Recommend to anyone! - We booked for a vineyard tour as it was recommended by AirBnB and we are so glad it was! 6 of us went to Oastbrook on Saturday afternoon and had no idea what to expect but it was far above and beyond our expectations and we had such a lovely afternoon. We were given a tour of the vineyard by America, the vineyard owner. She made it very personal and told us of her journey into wine-production, while also educating us on lots of different aspects of the process. We then were taken to a wine-tasting where we were provided not only with 3 different types of the Oastbrook wine (2 sparkling roses and white wine) but also with a beautiful plate of cheeses and home-grown grapes. America and her husband Nick also then suggested we sat by their pool, overlooking the vineyard to enjoy some more of their wine (available to purchase at additional cost). All in all, we all had a fantastic day and I can't recommend this enough to anyone who is looking to learn more about wine in a beautiful setting. Thumbs up from us!

A fantastic day out, lovely wine and beautiful location - America is very enthusiastic about wine, is an interesting tour guide, and she has produced a fantastic sparkling Rose but my favourite is the Pinot Gris. The location is beautiful, with the vineyard, Sussex hills and the unique Hobbit House.

Wonderful experience - The place is Beautiful, we had an amazing time, America was incredible from to start to the end, we did the wine tour and had our wine paired with locally source honey, cheese and Biscuits! I strongly advice you to come and visit America at the Hobbit House and Oastbrook vineyard. If you want a luxurious English wine you will be going for a treat. I can’t wait to book for couple of night at the stunning Hobbit House

So much more than wine - America was an amazing host when we visited Oastbrook. We loved learning about her English wine from Sussex, spending time in the vineyards and strolling in the the fields. You could see a Bodiam Cadtle from the Estate! And the wines were delicious - we lover
