Cheese And Wine Making
Welcome to Denbies Wine Estate and an introduction to England's largest vineyard where you'll be greeted with Danish pastries, tea and coffee on arrival. You will be taken to visit Norbury Blue and learn all about the cheese making process where you can experience firsthand how to make cheese in the traditional way. This includes full involvement from 'cutting' the curds and whey to loading the moulds. Return to Denbies for a delicious, three-course hot lunch after which you will be invited to try a selection of the estate award-winning wines. The rest of your day is spent within the working winery, with a wine expert who offers valued instruction on the blending of wine and will talk about different wine styles. What a way to spend a day!
