Review of La Mare Wine Estate

If you only visit one place on the island of Jerse...

If you only visit one place on the island of Jersey make it La Mare Wine Estate. You arrive amongst fields of vines and orchards of apples. Parking is plentiful with beautiful hydrangeas all around. Our first co tact was with Steve who greated us and gave us a cider sample to start our journey. We had time to kill until the tour started and chose to walk the vineyards and orchards. After a cold drink in the cafe we met Steve who began our tour giving us some history of the estate. He then handed over to Graham who conducted the rest of the tour. You will see how they make all the alcohol products and the food products on the tour, it's incredibly interesting and finishes with a few samples to wet your appetite. The shop is well stocked with tasters so expect to part with some cash because everything is so tasty. The whole experience was fantastic and great value for money. Take time to enjoy the gardens and make sure you buy some salted caramel chocolates they are amazing. This eco friendly estate offers a lot for the money and a thoroughly great couple of hours.
