Cracking event, great atmosphere
Has expanded significantly since 2024. As such the support infrastructure was a little stretched - queues for water etc and no macaroons!! Otherwise, fantastic as per usual.
Joanne Pearce

Anita Lewis
Fun but on a challenging scale
Derek Ryan
A great day!!
It was my first half marathon. I really have to say it was impressive and well organized!! A beautiful venue too!
Nina Tait
The most fun I've had at a running event
100% recommend this event. It was so well organised and a lot of fun. The wine and nibbles were a welcome pitstop after the 'many hills' and were spaced really well. The food and drink at the end was also fantastic. Will definitely enter again.
Simon Svensson
Great race with beautiful scenery.
I would have liked twice as much wine...
Rebecca Evins
Undulating wine based fun!!
Fran Richards
Fun but testing run
Tunde Adeyemo
It is a bit of a Bacchanalian festival
Bacchus Half
Don't come and do the Bacchus Half to get a PB.
Do come if you love a massive medal.
Weather permitting, you'll get beautiful views, it has tasking climbs, but you can walk the hills.
Come for the festivities, the taste of gourmet cheese and wine sampled at water stations along the route.
Come for the lively company of fancy dressed revellers intent on fun.
Come for the finishing party with a great meal and more wine.
Just come for an exhilarating experience that might find to be a relationship builder.

A well organised event
Alina King
Beautiful place and fun atmosphere
Please more water stations! On the 11am start for10K, we only had a water station at 2k and 9k. Other stations closed/ran out of water and it was a incredibly hot day.

Non stop party on the run. Challenging but hugely enjoyable
Great atmosphere, very well organised. Lovely to do a long run without pressure and lots of fun distractions.
George Hesson
incredible
Loved this event! very well organised and the atmosphere was amazing. Heres a few things that could be improved. I think it would be good if sunscreen was available at some of the stops. it would be good if the bands were also at the after party as the DJ was a bit repetitive. It would be good if the brewery was open as well and there were some more seating.

Brilliantly organised event
This event is so much fun. Everyone makes a real effort to dress up in fancy dress. Amazing atmosphere. The wine stations and tasty snacks were excellent. Incredibly well organised event. More toilets on the course would be great. Loved this event!
Stuart Glenister
I wish to express a heartfelt thanks to all the organisers & crew for putting together such a great event. We loved it & hope you’ll accept us back next year.
Perhaps think of alternative to plastic water bottles
Thanks again all
Geoffrey Eden
First ever 10k……will definitely be doing another!!!!

A really fun half marathon with the added benefit of wine breaks.
Khushaali Amin
Great views and vibe but disappointing stops. No music at stop 1, the water and music was closed 2 hours into the event on such a hot day. The final stop was overcrowded. The 10km get 2 stops and the 20km get 6 stops, how does that make sense?
No idea who won the fancy dress
Pulled pork was nice
Thomas James
Really fun and great event.
Jen Gillanders
Very enjoyable!
I think some of the pitstops were overcrowded & not as organised as 2024. Definitely also felt like we looped around the vineyard more to make up miles. Enjoyed the sweets rather than gels though - definitely a better choice! After party was a lot of fun. Thank you for a great day.
