Join us at our newest partner site, the idyllic Greyfriars Winery in the Surrey Hills, for the VI-Bee treatment! An ultimate day of bees, wines, beers and vines, with a lunch of local cheese and charcuterie added in for good measure! It’ll be a foodie and nature based day out to remember.
Your experience starts with an introduction to all things bees and beekeeping before getting hands on with our hives. Don a beekeeping suit and head over to the hives for a hive inspection - the hives are buzzing with activity and you get a chance to peek inside! Have a go at handling the frames, and finding the Queen Bee herself. Then you'll relax over a tutored beer and food matching session hosted by one of our experts.
Next up you'll enjoy a lunch featuring a range of local cheese and charcuterie - a delicious showcase of local Surrey produce provides a satisfying break before we move on to the Greyfriars Winery Tour and tasting.
After lunch, you'll embark on a leisurely guided tour of the stunning Greyfriars Winery. You’ll be led through picturesque vineyards, tasting several of their award winning wines as you go and learning about their processes from one of their expert guides. You’ll also come away with your own Greyfriars branded tasting glass!
