The luxury of a lodge at Three Choirs Vineyard

Three Choirs’ new lodge rooms in the heart of the vineyard combine luxurious accommodation with a haven of peace and tranquillity in leafy Gloucestershire. If you yearn for a relaxing and original way to while away a weekend, look no further than these beautifully designed wooden lodges opening in June. Situated just 500 metres from the main vineyard buildings, the lodges are nestled in between the breathtaking vines and overlook the string of ponds in the valley below the restaurant.

Each lodge is separated from its neighbour by several rows of vines. They all have a beautifully appointed bathroom with both a large bath and separate shower. Beds are king size and every aspect of the room provides stunning views for you to enjoy. All lodges also have an inviting veranda which runs around two sides of the building, giving you the choice of sun or shade.

Each morning a breakfast hamper is delivered to your doorstep which includes a mouth watering selection of culinary delights to start the day; consider freshly squeezed orange juice, yoghurts, fresh fruit and delicious pastries to whet your appetite. For those guests who fancy a cooked breakfast the lodges are a short stroll from the acclaimed vineyard restaurant which can also be booked for lunch and dinner. If eating al fresco is more up your street, the vineyard can also provide barbeque packs for those who want to immerse themselves fully in the beauty of their surroundings.

Why not consider combining a weekend break with the ‘Vineyard Experience Day’ to find out what it is really like to work as a winemaker? The day starts at 10am with tea and coffee in the winery. From here you will don your Three Choirs overalls and boots and venture in to the vineyard to help with whatever tasks are required depending on the time of year. This may be pruning, canopy management, shoot rubbing, trellising repairs or even a spot of grape picking.

On return to the winery mid-morning enjoy a tutored wine tasting with one of the wine makers, followed by a 3-course lunch in the Vineyard restaurant. Your host will choose suitable wines to accompany the meal and will explain how they were made.

After lunch it is back to the winery and the opportunity to help in various areas of wine production - this may be on the bottling line, labelling, filtering or monitoring fermentations.

Finally at the end of the day you can choose 2 bottles of wine to take away with you and you will receive an “Apprentice Winemaker” certificate!
