The Vineyard and Cellar door cafe is nestled away in a beautiful location just outside of Crondall village. We booked onto a sunset tour with Izzy who was fantastic; full of knowledge and passion. When we returned from the tour, we were treated to charcuterie and wine tasting. Very generous samples were poured but the wine was so delicious we stayed for even more! We will absolutely return to enjoy the wonderful setting and wine.

Outstanding tour, tasting a d charcuterie board. Izzy and Lauren were fantastic hosts. Knowledgeable, engaging, personable, spot on. Tasting and food excellent and the Cellar Door venue perfect. Easy to find, lots of parking and superb visit. 10/10

Well what more can I say - just returned from a amazing afternoon at Penn Croft winery tour. Spent just over 2 hours exploring the vines and winery - Izzy made it knowledgeable and fun. Followed up with a sample of their wines and locally sourced meats and cheese. Would thoroughly recommend, great value for money and such a fun, sociable afternoon. You won't be disappointed.

Love this place! Go often. Simple, but REALLY good menu. Food & drinks are great. Service is good. Best when the sun is shining as outside seating has a great vibe. (But also recommend when weather not playing ball ...during cold times they have a lovely fire burning).

Lovely new establishment. We popped in with a couple of locals while we were visiting Crondall. We have been to the area a couple of times now, and I can say this is a great addition to the area. The staff were very friendly and our coffees and breakfast came out nice and quick. The smashed avo on toast was a real crowd favorite. We will be back again, hopefully in the near future.

Absolutely lovely team, so friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our Friday lunch and the wine was fab. Coffee was the best I have had in a long time too. Looking forward to experiencing it again in Spring / Summer

Penn Croft Cellar Door winery may be better known for its English Wine, but I think it’s important that we know how good their hot chocolate is, too, don’t you? This one passed with flying colours. It was rich and mildly nutty and very chocolatey. Their wine was good too :)
