Insider tip
Book the guided vineyard walk at dawn before crowds arrive—the Severn Vale's microclimate and limestone soils are far more apparent in morning light. Reserve lunch at the restaurant in advance and pair it with their Reserve Bacchus, which often outperforms their marketed flagship sparkling.
