Absolutely fantastic experience, was a gift from 2019, they honored our ticket (covid)
Our tour guy was informative and passionate. Tasting experience was brilliant with wines, liquers and beers/ales. We had a little spend up in the well stocked shop on site. Would recommend a taxi, for yhe full experience. We came in from Henley-on-Thames and taxis are a reasonable price. Highly recommended and would visit again

We got married at Old Luxters at the end of August and it really was the most perfect day! The venue and setting is beautiful, the staff are wonderful and friendly and everything ran so smoothly. The planning was made really easy by Charlie, who supported us with all requests we had. And it is really special to be able to serve wine from the vineyard at the wedding! Every guest had a fabulous time and we couldn't have wished for anything more. We would highly recommend this venue if you are planning your wedding!

We were married at Old Luxters Barn last week, and it was the most amazing day. Old Luxters is absolutely beautiful, a wonderfully charming old barn, lit up by twinkling fairly lights. The staff at Luxters are fantastic, always there to help. Big thank you to Charlie for the help moving the wedding umpteen times due to Covid! Every question I had they answered, and put together the most magical day.
The food and drink was exceptional. The vineyard is stunning for photographs! Many guests commented that it was the best wedding they had been to. I wish we could go back and do it all over again! Thank

A beautiful venue, perfect for a summer wedding. The gardens and grounds are fantastic with lots of different areas for different parts of the day. Qe stayed in the cottage (as brother of the bride), and it was the perfect size with everything you need provided for the morning after, including bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and loooads of bread for a full breakfast (which you have to cook yourself - but still, brilliant). The staff were wonderfully accommodating, incorporating changes at last minute, and were professional and fun throughout the evening. Faultless.
