Rent a vine - come and get involved

A lovely welcome pack will arrive to your front door with a certificate of lease, a tag for when you come to choose your vines, a map and further information to develop your understanding of the vineyard. It is a lovely gift for birthdays, special occasions and Christmas.

Your chosen package - of either 1 or 6 vines - will provide you with the equivalent number of bottles of wine to the number of vines in your package [1] and a range of other benefits including discounted future wine orders. You will also receive updates on the vineyard and be kept up to date on how things are progressing through the year.

You will be able to come along to a tour and tasting led by the owners with first-hand tales of the journey so far; choose the vines you would like to lease and learn more about what it takes to run an English vineyard. If you opt to lease 6 vines you will also be able to look forward to a stylish picnic following your tasting with fantastic views. We work hard to make sure the visit to the vineyard and your experience is second to none, and we have had excellent feedback:

“Really lovely vineyard experience. Warm welcome and fascinating tour around this unpretentious family start-up business. Excellent picnic lunch in a beautiful location and delicious wine.” Susan, August 2019

We have options whether you are keen on still wine, sparkling wine or some of both. Full details in the table below. Our still varieties are Bacchus and Pinot Gris; our sparkling varieties are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Come and be involved in this exciting and dynamic industry; or give a gift that lasts all year.

[1] Please note your grapes will be mixed with others of the same variety to produce the wines.
