Chapel Down: A Decadent English Wine and Dine Experience
Imagine a beautiful farm in the English countryside where they grow grapes to make wine!
At Chapel Down, you can take a walk through the rows of grapevines and learn how they grow.
Then, you get to taste some of their special wines, like sparkling wine or ones that taste like apples and elderflower.
After tasting, you sit down for a fancy three-course meal.
Each dish comes with a special wine that tastes extra good with it.
