Tour & Tasting Experience
Our first tour will be 11th July at 3pm. There will be some changes to our tours and you can be assured we will be implementing strict cleaning regimes to ensure your safety. Our tour vouchers will still be able to be used. You can still buy our tour vouchers as a gift to book onto a tour at a future date. Picnics are available to pre-book only to enjoy in the vineyard after your tour.
Ryedale Vineyards offer an informal and informative tour and wine tasting which allows visitors to look around the vineyard and winery and sample our wines. Please see current information below.
£10 per person, the tours run weekends at 3pm unless stated, from Easter until the end of October (except harvest time), dates with availability are shown in the drop down list on the booking form to the right

Please note, dogs are not permitted in the vineyard, please do not leave your dog in the car. We politely ask that you do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your tour as we are a working vineyard and facilities are limited. We ask that you allow 2 hours for your tour.

About the Tour Current 2020
Tours will start July 2020 but with smaller numbers no more than 12 or 14 and we may be running two consecutive tours on some Saturdays at 3pm and 5pm. We are not able to talk to a group in an enclosed space, such as the winery, so we will be making changes to the way we carry out the tour. One of the two wine makers will guide you around the vines in the vineyard and talk about the winery here. You will then be invited to visit the winery in the groups you arrived with. Wine tasting will be pre-poured and we will be utilising plant starch single use tasting glasses to avoid glass collection and washing. Picnic benches will be well separated; we do have plenty of space at the vineyard. We will include tasting notes rather than talk through the wine tasting as a group. You are of course welcome to linger in the vineyard after the tour; the horsebox bar will be available for drinks, nuts and crisps.
The vineyard can be uneven and the floor of the winery is cobbled stone. Please note due to the working environment, we cannot accommodate dogs or young children.
You will have the opportunity to purchase our wines direct from the winery. Taxis are available from Malton approximately six miles away should you not wish to drive.
"Brilliant....a wonderful, enterprising, successful, happy family business. Couldn't rate it more highly. A great interesting visit." - Mo
