Forest Bathing & Wellness Experience
Sunday 27 April 1:00-4:30pm
Join us for a unique and immersive afternoon at the vineyard where we’ll celebrate the beauty of nature through Forest Bathing, including a mindful wine tasting.
This special event invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and fully appreciate the tranquil private woodland from where the vineyard gets its name, along with our beautifully crafted award-winning wines produced from its soil.
🌿 Forest Bathing
Begin your journey with a gentle and restorative Forest Bathing experience where you are guided through the vineyard’s idyllic private woodland, adorned with bluebells, wild garlic, and a babbling brook. Moving slowly and attentively through the trees, you’ll be led through mindfulness-based practices designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and deepen your connection to the land.
🍇 Wine Tasting by the Fire
After immersing in the woodland’s tranquillity, we’ll return to the vineyard for a mindful tasting experience. Settle round the forest campfire to hear all about our vines and sustainable ethos, and sample a selection of our award winning wines paired with delicious snacks.
🌿🍷 A Celebration of Nature & Craftsmanship
From Forest Bathing to wine tasting, every element of this experience is designed to be mindful, grounding, and deeply nourishing. Whether you come alone or with friends, this is a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and savour the simple pleasures of the season.
