What a wonderful wine tasting experience!
A wonderful experience and addition to our weekend away in chipping Campden. Laid back and personable and Gemma made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Excellent value for money and some great quality wines to experience. What a lovely family owned business. Thanks for making our experience so lovely! Sara & Danny xxx

What a great experience, we weren't sure what to expect...it exceeded our expectations with a fab little tour of the vines followed by a tasting of all the wine, fizz and even a Brandy!
The host Gemma and her family were so friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to see our vine!!š

Excellent tour and tasting
Worth every penny of the Ā£25 entrance fee. Gemma was an entertaining host who spoke honestly about the efforts the family has made to set up the vineyard. She was ably assisted by her lovely son Tom. After the tour of the vineyard we sat at a table in the shade of a tree for the tasting. The sparkling wine in particular is excellent and Gemma offered generous measures.

A fantastic tour and tasting
We spent 2 hours here on a sunny lunchtime Gemma was our lovely host. The tour was interesting and informative. We then had the opportunity to try 4 different wines - very generous tastings too! We did not feel at all rushed and in fact Gemma then came around and offered another glass full of our favourite! This was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours, with good company, and good wine,on a sunny Friday lunchtime!

We had relatives over from Australia and thought a trip out to a UK vineyard would be an interesting trip for them. We were not wrong, they have visited many vineyards and said Little Oaks was by far one of the best. This was down to Gemma, who was very welcoming, knowledgeable & passionate about what she and her husband Steve have created. Wonderful wine & good conversation. The sparkling pink was my favourite, but all the wines were lovely. Would highly recommend a visit.

I have a wine tasting gift voucher to use which I received for Christmas as everyone knows I love wine. I was hoping to use it for my sisters birthday at the end of the month. This vineyard was the closest to home, and when I tried to book I was informed by the voucher company this vineyard do not have availability between April - September but when I looked directly on their site they do have availability. Rang up and spoke to a woman and she said they only take voucher bookings in the winter months, then just hung up. Rude! Clearly thinks the people who get vouchers cannot afford to book direct and embarrassed to have them there. This isnāt the case at all, as Iād happily pay full price myself, just didnāt want to miss out on a lovely gift. And you canāt use the excuse that youāre fully booked in summer months because you have A LOT of availability on your website!
Plus who wants to go wine tasting in winter? Absolutely ridiculous. Because of this I will never be booking with them. Iād rather not use the voucher than waste it here in the winter. (All of the other locations are too far).
Clearly stuck up people who run this vineyard who are missing out on potential customers.

Hello Roxy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand your frustration regarding using a third-party voucher during the summer months.
It appears you received a voucher from a company with seasonal restrictions on redemption. While our own voucher program operates year-round, third-party vouchers have different validity periods. We recommend contacting the voucher company for details on their specific terms.
Our website accurately reflects our current open slots for reservations. The increased availability during summer reflects our ability to offer outdoor seating, providing a different experience from our indoor cosy winter tastings.
We apologise if the phone call felt like it ended abruptly. Our goal is to offer efficient service and typically conclude calls after addressing the immediate enquiry. We can assure you that all our guests are treated with respect, regardless of payment method.
We take pride in being a family-run business with a welcoming atmosphere, as reflected in many of our other reviews. We hope this clarifies the situation, and we wish you all the best in finding a suitable venue for your sistersā birthday.
Sincerely,
Gemma & Steve

We booked a tour and tasting for a hen party and couldnāt have had a better time. Gemma was entertaining and informative, and the wines did not disappoint! Thank you Gemma and Steve for the hospitality!

Too wet for tour . . .
Wet weather forced our host / owner Gemmaās presentation indoors - a basic shed - as sadly we were denied an opportunity to explore the vineyard. Her honest and entertaining delivery offered an insight into the struggles facing small winery businesses as she guided us through a six-strong tasting. Thereās a limited range of wines and the brand is difficult to identify, but if youāre in the Cotswolds give it a go . . .
