Whether you’re a wine connoisseur, a wine beginner or you just want a peaceful stay in the countryside, there really is no getaway quite like a luxury stay at Three Choirs Vineyard.
A visit to the vineyard is a chance to relax and get away from it all. We’ve got plenty of space to enjoy the vines and the landscape, which is beautiful whatever time of year you stay. In winter, it’s very atmospheric, with clouds settling in the valley below the rooms.
We have two different types of rooms. The vineyard view rooms are in the block by the brasserie and the lodge rooms are individual. Whichever room you choose, you will be guaranteed beautiful views and an outside seating area to relax and unwind.
The lodge rooms consist of a bedroom, a bathroom and a veranda set in the vines. They are about 500 metres from the other buildings, a bit more spacious and a bit quieter than the vineyard view rooms. But if you’re at all nervous about the great outdoors and wouldn’t like to have your sleep disturbed by a badger walking past or a bird scratching, you might want to opt for a vineyard view room. We want to be sure your break is a relaxing one, not a stressful one!
All the rooms, whether lodges or vineyard view rooms, have 6’ wide superking beds for a really restful night’s sleep. Decorated in an eclectic mix of English and French design, the rooms also have a comfortable seat or two, and a desk. Tea and coffee are provided, and bathrooms have either a large monsoon shower or a bath with shower over.
To make your stay special, you can have a bottle of sparkling wine ready in your room or handmade chocolates or balloons for a special occasion.
An excellent cooked breakfast, freshly made to order, is served to all guests in the brasserie.
You might also want to have lunch or dinner at our brasserie. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and dinner is served daily. We wanted to serve something a bit different from the same kind of food that is available in gastropubs everywhere.
We serve a ‘Tapas style’ little plates menu, which is perfect for sharing and grazing throughout your lunch or dinner. Our different dishes and flavours have been designed to complement our range of wines.
Our brasserie is less formal, casual dining which reflects the casual, relaxed setting of our vineyards. In winter, it is warmed by a cosy wood burner. In summer, you can take a glass of sparkling wine and a couple of tapas plates out onto the terrace to enjoy.
When you visit Three Choirs Vineyard, you might want to taste some of our unique English wines. For guests, we offer wine tasting twice a day, for £20 per person. You can try your choice of five 50ml wines from the vineyard, including sparkling wines, and take a walk around the 75-acre vineyard at your leisure.
Worried you don’t know enough about wine to take part in wine tasting? Don’t be!
Thomas Shaw, managing director, said: “We try very hard not to make the wine intimidating. There are people who are nervous about wine. We want to make it accessible. Wine is for pleasure. It’s for enjoying, you shouldn’t feel intimidated by it.
“The whole place is very relaxed; our staff are very friendly. We don’t have a sommelier at your shoulder telling you what you should eat and drink, we want you to eat and drink what you would like to eat and drink!
“Three Choirs is more akin to Australia and California than some of the more formal vineyards.”
If you just want to spend the whole of your stay chilling out at the vineyard, that is perfectly understandable. But if you want to explore the area, Three Choirs makes a great base.
For walkers, the Malvern Hills are about 20 minutes away or you might prefer walks in the nearby Forest of Dean. Cheltenham with its famous racecourse is half an hour away or you could visit the cathedral city of Hereford, or Gloucester for outlet shopping. There is easy access to the Cotswolds and water activities on the River Severn at Symonds Yat if you’re feeling adventurous.
Thomas added: “The market town of Ledbury is 10 to 15 minutes away. It’s very popular because of all its independent traders. There are no chain stores in Ledbury!”
Three Choirs Vineyard is for adults only and suited to couples or small groups of four to six people. We don’t take big parties, so you can be sure your relaxing stay won’t be disturbed by other people! It really is a getaway like no other.
