Dorset Vineyard Cruise

Three-time, ‘Battle of the Vineyards’ winner, English Oak join us exclusively aboard Dorset Queen.

A Dorset sparkling wine experience and lunch at The Priory Hotel in the Saxon Town of Wareham.

We will leave Poole Quay at 11:30am, before turning starboard, towards the western reaches of Poole Harbour, whilst Andrew & Sarah Pharaoh introduce you to three of their exquisite sparkling wines.

They will explain their methods and company traditions, whilst you sample their Englemann, Chinkapin and San Gabriel wines.

At 1pm we will moor up alongside the private quayside of The Priory in Wareham, where you can hop off, stroll through their stunning summer gardens and into their restaurant.

Two course Sunday Lunch followed by coffee can then be enjoyed at this famous, ‘Pride of Britain Hotel’.

After lunch you’ll have time to relax in The Priory’s beautiful gardens, or take a walk around the town centre.

We will then re-embark Dorset Queen at 3:30pm for the return cruise, sampling their Wainscot, plus newly released Quercus and Royale wines.

This exclusive cruise offers guests the opportunity to sample new wines and grape varieties from the South Coast of England, whilst taking in stunning views along River Frome.

You will also be offered a ‘members discount’ if you wish to purchase a bottle or two of your favourite wine to take home with you.

At 5pm we arrive back at Poole Quay, where you will each receive a Gift Certificate for a half price English Oak Vineyard Tour, to be used at a later date of your choice.
