For the English Wine

Summer is the perfect time to sit in the garden with a glass of your favourite wine from one of these local Surrey Vineyards.

Albury Organic Vineyard

Albury Vineyard is the result of Nick Wenman’s passion for quality wine. Nick planted the vineyard in 2009 having retired from the IT industry to fulfil his dream of owning a vineyard.

Nick believes that key to the success of the wines is the vineyard’s commitment to organic and biodynamic principles, together with excellent winemakers and his talented Estate Manager Alex, one of the few female vineyard managers in England.

Albury Vineyard is situated on the southern slopes of the North Downs in the beautiful Surrey Hills, just outside Guildford on the A25 towards Dorking. The vines are the traditional Champagne varietals of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as well as some Seyval and Pinot Gris. They are committed to producing organic fruit without the use of chemicals such as herbicides and fungicides, and produce English wine of the highest quality; a still rosé and quality sparkling wines.

Painshill

Painshill boasts a south-facing sloping vineyard from the top of which you can enjoy beautiful views across the North Downs. The grape varieties include Pinot Noir, one of the varieties grown by Hamilton in the 18th century, as well as the modern varieties Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc and Pinot Grigio.

The vineyard was turned into a rockery by the

Victorian owners and, when the Painshill Park Trust was formed, it was a series of large rock steps. The area was replanted by the Trust in the 1990s. Modern trellising is used everywhere apart form the last three vines, where the 18th century method of growing is demonstrated. It now produces a yearly harvest. Painshill wine, an award winning sparkling white or rose is produced and sold in their shop.

High Clandon Estate Vineyard

High Clandon Estate Vineyard was founded in 2004 by Sibylla and Bruce Tindale. The Vineyard lies high on the Surrey Hills, on the chalky limestone in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The chalky lime-stone is the same geological stratum as that of the Champagne
