Vineyard tours and lunches

Every Wednesday from May to September we offer tours of the Lympstone Manor Estate vineyard followed by lunch in the Lympstone Manor Restaurant. This provides an opportunity to learn about growing grapes on our single-vineyard estate, find out about how our wines are produced, and afterwards enjoy a wonderful lunch in the Lympstone Manor Restaurant, accompanied by our own and other wines from our extensive and carefully curated wine list.

Wine Dinners

Wine dinners are one of the most enjoyable ways to learn about and sample a range of wines you might not otherwise encounter, selected carefully to partner our considered menus, and enjoyed in the company of like-minded wine lovers. Throughout the year, we offer wine dinners both in the Lympstone Manor Restaurant as well as in the Pool House Restaurant and Bar.

Evenings with Michael Caines

Evenings with Michael are very special, Michael’s chance to come out front and meet you, share stories, and introduce a fabulous menu of fine cuisine with paired wines introduced by Steve Edwards. These are always hugely popular and sell out
quickly, so click here to find out more and book your place.

Celebratory Harvest Lunch

Every year we host a Celebratory Harvest Lunch as an opportunity to mark the harvest and honour the fruits of our labours. This event tends to take place towards the end of September or early October, depending on the weather across the summer and the growing season.

We will announce the Harvest Lunch date later in the summer and will publish full information on the Lympstone Manor Events page.
