Vinegrowing Course Day 7
Monday 17th June 2019
Final day of my vinegrowing course. Theory session ending with a (very hard!) test in the morning, then a visit to Bluebell Vineyard in the afternoon.

Got this bottle of Plumpton's sparkling wine to toast the end of the course after the exam, but they don't do corkage in the pub where the theory sessions were held, so ended up saving it for the train home later on.

Bluebell Vineyard. The only one I've seen where they still put roses at the end of the vines.
