Thirst Media presents tours of the Rothley Wine Estate 'Kingfisher's Pool' vineyard. Tour and tasting takes two hours and you can choose to purchase a ticket for either the 12pm or 2pm slot.

Your ticket buys you an hour tour of the vineyard and winery with Rothley Wine's vintner, Liz Robson. Enjoy the rows of neatly pruned vines with the cheery sound of the Great Central Railway ringing out in the distance. Try and spot the namesake kingfishers down by the ancient pool. You will learn all about growing grapes and making wine in the heart of the English countryside, direct from the expert.

After the tour, we will make ourselves comfortable in the newly built conservatory for a guided tasting from local food and wine writer and director of Thirst Media, Laura Hadland. Enjoy a selection of delicious Rothley Wine Estate products in an idyllic setting. Wine is available for purchase if you wish to take a bottle or two home (cash only please).

Accompanied children are welcome to join the tour, but we're afraid tastings are strictly for over 18s, so you may wish to consider if little ones might get bored while you enjoy the tasting! There is plenty of outdoor space around the tasting room where you can supervise if you want to bring them a ball or other game to keep them occupied. 

Well behaved dogs on leads are also welcome, but please let us know in advance so we can confine the vineyard hens to their run!

Tours will go ahead in inclement weather, unless the heavens really open! However, the vineyard is a rural space so please wear appropriate footwear regardless. There is level wheelchair access to both the vineyard and tasting room, although some areas of the vineyard may be more difficult to negotiate by wheelchair users. The tour will be adapted to take this into account so that nobody misses out on any of the detail.
