The Vineyard is a Relais & Chateaux and Pride of Britain 5 red star hotel and spa near Newbury in Berkshire. It offers 49 elegant and individually designed air-conditioned bedrooms including 32 suites, all with sleek Italian marble bathrooms and some with private patios or balconies. It is renowned for its food and drink offering, boasting an award-winning 30,000 bottle wine cellar and not forgetting a 500 piece private art collection.  There are five flexible bright and light air-conditioned meeting rooms with capacity for up to 160 delegates, as well as three private dining rooms. This discrete property can also be reserved on an exclusive use basis to include all bedrooms, their Executive Chef Tom Scade and team, along with Sommeliers and private spa – perfect for a corporate incentive!  Unsurprisingly a wine tasting put on by their Head Sommelier or Wine Director is a great activity to include! Guests can also use the 9 hole golf course at Deanwood next door, as well as enjoying a choice of team building activities. An hour from London, 45 minutes from Heathrow and a million miles from ordinary!
