Talking about the news, Squerryes owner Henry Warde said: “It’s always a joy to feel the first warmth of the sun in the spring and watch the vines wake up from their winter slumber. It’s also the time when we can look forward to dining on the terrace again and taking our tours back out into the vines. The anticipation of the summer months ahead, packed with a schedule of events for everyone to enjoy, is when Squerryes really comes alive and when we live by my family motto, Licet Esse Beatis, meaning it is permitted to be joyful. I look forward to welcoming you to Squerryes this summer to enjoy our hospitality.”
