All Angels is a delightful site about two miles west of Newbury, on the Enborne Road, at Church Farm, Enborne, RG20 0HD. If coming from Newbury it is on the left just after the church of St Michaels and All Angels. They are famed for their sparkling wines, and their 10yr Anniversary Classic Cuvée has been awarded a 96 point Gold medal at the 2025 International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Please aim to arrive at 1200 – the tour will start at 1215. A buffet lunch will be provided, including focaccia bruschetta, seasonal vegetable crudités with humous & red pepper salsa, and sausage rolls.
