    A little slice of Paradise
    We visited yesterday and were shown around by Steve. Great guy-funny and interesting. We enjoyed the tastings very much. Generous measures of everything we tasted. We bought some supplies at the on site shop after and were given a 10% discount which was nice :) We stayed the night in the pool suite which was absolutely fabulous. We felt like we were on the French Riviera sipping the English Sparkling wine that we had just bought. It was amazing and so peaceful. We were very lucky with the weather. We were served a delicious and bespoke breakfast this morning by the very friendly lady who runs the b&b (sorry, we didn't catch her name) but she was fab. We were sad to leave this morning but felt like we had been on a week's holiday it was that restful. Ten out of ten to all involved-many thanks.
    Thank you for your lovely comments - We do try to make the Taste & Tour experience a Fun & Enjoyable tour as well as learning a little more about the Wines Ales & Liqueurs, our Tour Guides are very knowledgeable & all bring a different aspect to the tour in their unique way. You of course had the full experience having stayed in our beautiful B&B, as well as having the evening meal package at The Stag & Huntsman, they do offer a lovely meal in a friendly atmosphere. So glad you enjoyed your stay

    Very Good
    Visited on a nice sunny Thursday late morning- trip was a present from our children. Lovely place, easy to find. Wine tour carried out by John- very informative and not mean on the wine & beer sampling which we really enjoy. Took some bottles home and would recommend 100%.
    Thank you for your visit, so nice to hear that you enjoyed the whole experience with one of our wonderful tour guides. Hope you enjoy your purchases & remember you can always top up by ordering on our Online Shop & delivery will be with you within a few days 🤗

    Loved it and want to do it again asap
    Absolutely fantastic experience and highly recommended. We originally booked the tour for April but managed to rebook for July really easily. We arrived early for our 11am tour and were warmly welcomed and directed to sit in comfy seats outside to wait for the rest of the group to arrive. We found the history and tour absolutely fascinating- I still remember a lot of what we were told. There were lovely little touches like the umbrellas due to the weather. The wine tasting was fantastic. We left with a few bottles of wine, fizz and the Irish cream, which is delicious! Would love to rebook (once isn’t enough) and will look to return soon. Thanks to the team for a lovely morning/afternoon :)
    Thank you for your kind words and we would be delighted to welcome you back to Old Luxters sometime in the near future. Check out the website as always to book your visit. Maybe next time we can ensure you taste different products too!

    Very enjoyable visit
    Was meant to be four of us but two had to drop out last minute. We still had a great time. A friendly and informative guide showed us around the vineyard, brewery, wine vats and bottling area. Then on to the best bit, tasting! We tried a variety of wines, beers and liqueurs then on to the shop to acquire more to take home. Very impressed with the visit and the many products we bought to taste afterwards. We have spread the word to family, friends and work colleagues to visit. One point. The lanes to and from the winery are very narrow and we had some very interesting experiences passing oncoming cars! Thank you for a fun afternoon.
    Thank you for your review with us. we are glad that you were impressed with our place and like many others we hope to welcome you back again sometime.

    Excellent value tour and tastings
    Having visited three English vineyards in the past 9 months we would highly rate the tour and tastings at Chiltern Valley. Picturesque, rural setting and ample free parking. Friendly and informative tour guide, who took our small group round several areas of the working vineyard during the tour. There are plentiful tastings of wine, ale and liqueurs to partake in along with complementary cheese and biscuits. Well stocked shop with no pushy sales team and help was offered in carrying our purchases to the car. Highly recommend.
    It was a pleasure in reading your review and we are glad your trip to us was a successful one. We hope to see you again sometime in the near future.

    Fabulous tour and tasting
    Very knowledgeable guide, beautiful setting and great value tour and tasting. Starting in the vineyard, we then saw in the brewery and bottling area amongst others. The two hour tour included tasting four wines, four beers and four liqueurs with some cheese and crackers included. Lovely way to spend the evening. Would love to return.
    Good to hear you enjoyed your time with us. See you again soon.

    Great wine tasting and over night

    Tour and tasting
    I had a Christmas gift of a vineyard and brewery tour with tastings. I decided to book it for the August Bank Holiday. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the tour itself was infomative. The group we were in was only 10 people which was a good size. We enjoyed the company of the other group members. Tastings are very generous with 2 still wines, 2 sparkling, 3 beers and 3 liqueurs. We also found the shop to be reasonably priced for the amount of work that goes into the products - tour guests also get a 10% discount. On this occasion we were unable to use the bar facility due to a wedding being held that weekend but it's certainly something we would do another time. If you are driving, it's worth noting that you will be sampling quite a bit of alcohol as part of the experience so it's wise to wait a while before driving back. We travelled by taxi from nearby Ibstone and the cost was very high for only 4 miles. Another tour guest mentioned that they managed to book an Uber which was much cheaper. If you are are staying at the Frog in Skirmett it's only a 20 min walk to the vineyard
    Thank you for your lovely comment, so nice to hear you enjoyed the tour & the tastings. Our tour guides are all great & enjoy sharing their knowledge with our guests. Unfortunately we don't have a Bar as such for guests to go to but we do sell our Ales & Wines by the glass from our Cellar Shop, the bar that you noticed is for Venue Hire only ie Weddings & Corporate events. We look forward to welcoming you back one day.

    What a fantastic place, surrounded by beautiful countryside
    Came here for my birthday on 26/9/23 What a little gem of a place ! It’s a small brewery and winery set in the beautiful countryside. Very easy to find lots of signage, decent car park just across the road, and very friendly staff. We chose to stay overnight amd had the garden room. Was lovely overlooking the vineyards and garden. Very spacious, and had a nice en suite. The tour was brilliant from seeing amd sampling the grapes to bottling and also the different stages of brewing as well. Steve was very good and answered all the questions. The best but was the tasting though! There was a sheet to make a note of any you liked and you could purchase in the shop. You can also order online. There’s no dinner option on site but there’s a wonderful pub down the road and if you stay, chiltern give you a complimentary taxi there and back which I thought was very good! Breakfast was scrumptious! there are a few options and we went for a full English. Tasted delicious! All in all we had a wonderful time! No one could do enough for you and was so friendly! A lovely place I would visit again in a beautiful area of the country.

    Wine tasting session
    I was gifted the wine tasting voucher for two people. It was limited session slots, and had to book well in advance. It is a beautiful location within the barn where you can hire out for a wedding. We sis look at the venue for wedding some months earlier. We had a helpful tour of the vineyard on the Sunday as Saturday slots were unavailable for the rest of the year! We had cheese and can choose as a group what to taste. I recommend the experience.

Visited for winery tour and stay in b and b. Can’t fault any part of it. Courtyard area and food truck is excellent. Wine tour was well worth it and good value for money. Sean was an excellent tour guide with all the banter!! I felt like I learnt so much I didn’t know about wine growing. The beer was also excellent. The shop was great and good discounts for those who did tour so adds to the value for money.
The b and b rooms are stunning and garden is so pretty to sit with a glass or two. The breakfast and service was excellent. All in all can’t recommend enough.

Well I was thoroughly amazed at the quality , quantity produced and variety of wines, ales and even liquors. All from a small business . The quality of the produce is second to none and an outstanding professional and knowledgeable tour. Can’t praise you enough… We enjoyed every minute we were there. Thoroughly recommend a visit and what amazing surroundings. Well done to all the staff especially our host .
Thank you

Wonderful time here today. The lovely lady (I forget her name, apologies) who led our tour group was intensely passionate and knowledgeable. It was great to see how they produce their wines and beers from field to bottle.

The tastings were particularly generous with good measure of several wines, beers and liquers; however I was unable to fully participate being the designated driver. My girlfriend certainly enjoyed my excess portions.

If they had a minibus service for picking up/dropping off visitors for their tours & tastings from nearby Henley-on-Thames it would be the only thing that could have improved the experience.

We enjoyed our visit here so much we both bought tour vouchers for our respective parents.

Shame the snack van was closed due to them hosting a wedding that day.

Greatly recommend the Blood Orange reserve liquer.

Thank you for your lovely comments. Victoria has been with us for many years & as you have mentioned, she is very passionate about the products. Glad you enjoyed the tastings (as much as your could) maybe you could change roles when you come back to visit😉so you can taste a bit more. Nice to see you enjoyed our delightful tasting Blood Orange Reserve ** I have put your idea of a mini-bus service to the owner, this maybe something for the future to look into 😊

We did the tasting tour which was very informative, the guide was so knowledgeable and we learnt a lot and found it really interesting.
We tasted a variety of wines, ales and liquors, the quality and taste was outstanding and we made several purchases from the shop at the end.
We topped off our visit by staying over night in one of the rooms, we chose the garden suite.
The view from the room was stunning, beautiful grounds, so peaceful.
We sat in the gardens looking up at our room and felt so relaxed just listening to the birds and wildlife.
The facilities were lovely, bed very comfortable and the night was so peaceful.
Breakfast the following morning was much needed after a night of drinking 😊
Traditional full English, all cooked fresh.
Tea/coffee, fruit juice and cereals.
We came away feeling very chilled out and felt it would be nice to come back once a year to get away from the rat race and relax.
Would highly recommend

Fabulous place beautiful setting and such warm and friendly staff. We opted to stay for the night and had our tour and tasting that afternoon. Good decision as the tour was very interesting and the tasting very generous would not have wanted to drive anywhere afterwards. Stuart our guide was fantastic. Such an interesting story teller. Lots of history and amusing stories to tell about the place. Just loved it. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with a very hearty breakfast in the morning. Would highly recommend a visit as the house vineyards and countryside well worth it.

We took over the entire farm house and the pool house for a birthday celebration. Jill and the team were brilliant going above and beyond to help make our stay special. The place was incredibly well stocked with everything you need. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation is superb quality I would happily go back again. I didn’t do the tour as I lounged around the pool and hot tub but others enjoyed the tour and tasting.
