Wild West Wine and Cider Tour and Tasting

Want to experience a taste of the West Country without going far from from Bristol?

Join us on our organically managed farm for a relaxed, hands-on tour and tasting experience, where we make award-winning wine and cider the traditional way - just fruit, time, and a whole lot of care.

This isn’t your average tasting room visit. You’ll walk the land, meet the makers, sample the goods, and get stuck in with whatever’s going on at the farm that day.

From vine to bottle, orchard to glass, this is a full journey into natural winemaking and cider making.

Here's what’s a typical tour looks like:

You’ll be greeted by Matt or Sean, the owners and founders of Wild West Wine and Cider. Their passion for natural, small-batch production is at the heart of everything we do.

Take a stroll to our organic vineyard. Learn about the ups and downs of growing grapes without nasty chemicals, and what it takes to manage a vineyard through the seasons. Sample a glass of our Wild West natural wine while you’re there - the very first vintage to be grown and bottled at Failand Farm.

On your way to the winery and cider house, wander through our orchards and hear about the annual cycle of apple growing - from winter pruning to harvest time.

Back at the cidery and winery, you’ll get to see where the magic happens. Depending on the time of year, you might try your hand at testing sugar levels, pressing, racking, bottling, disgorging or labelling!

Finally, sit back and enjoy a tasting of our handcrafted ciders paired with local cheese. We’ll guide you through the flavour profiles - dryness, sweetness, tannin, acidity and tell you the story behind each bottle.

At the end, there’s a chance to buy your favourite bottles and browse our Wild West merchandise (tote bags, t-shirts and more - no pressure to buy!).
