“GGs on the Go” – Events for 2024
Join us as we come together to get out and about! A great opportunity to socialise with
each other over a common interest. Most visits are arranged with an ‘exclusive’ element
just for GG members such as talks from the Head Gardener, a behind the scenes view of
how the garden operates or a garden that is open just for us.
How can I reserve my place(s) for an event?
- To reserve your place(s) simply email events@grayshottgardeners.net
- You will then be invited by email to pay a non-returnable deposit/full amount via bank
transfer to Grayshott Gardeners with the name of the event as a reference e.g. If we
are off to Wisley insert Wisley into the Bank transfer reference field. - The trip joining details will be emailed to you nearer the date of the trip.
Places are normally limited and filled on a first come first served basis. Non members
are welcome, unless specifically stated, at a surcharge of £5 per head. Transport to and
from venues is by members own arrangements unless otherwise stated
Members requiring additional information please email Carmen Harvey-Browne at events@grayshottgardeners.net

Tour and Wine Tasting

11.00am – 1.00pm tour and wine tasting
1.15pm Coach returning to Grayshott
£32 per person including return Coach
To book please email Carmen Harvey-Browne at events@grayshottgardeners.net
40 places available.
The tour and tasting are run concurrently as they find that enjoying wines on the amble gives a good sense of place.
There is some uneven ground as it is fields but not terrible. We have a stop point halfway up the vineyard to sit on a deck and enjoy the views whilst tasting another wine.
Please note this is a tour for 90 mins – 2 hours and involves the tasting of 5 wines.
The coach will drop us off in the lay-by on the A31 and there is a 2 minute walk to the tasting room where the tour starts.
