Explore the forefront of English sparkling wines at England’s oldest commercial vineyard. Hambledon Vineyard features the UK’s only gravity fed and state-of-the-art winery directed by some of the most iconic names in the industry. Located on 50 acres among the spectacular countryside of the South Downs, the Hambledon Estate is the perfect setting to relax, wander the vineyards, and taste their exceptional wines.
In 1999, wine visionary, Iain Kellet set off to revitalize England’s most historic commercial vineyard, Hambledon. Research convinced Kellet that sparkling wines were the future and in 2005, Ian planted a 10-acre ‘test-bed’ of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Menuier. After successful results and the revival of a former relationship with esteemed Champagne house, Pol Roger in 2011, Hambledon once again became Britain’s leading sparkling wine producer. Among the Hambledon team is Hervé Jestin, globally recognized Champagne oenologist and former Chef de Caves at Duval Leroy, who now oversees all winemaking at the Hambledon Estate. Behind Hambledon’s doors is their vision to produce universally competitive wines by using the best raw materials and employing the most experienced team in the business. Led by their knowledgeable staff, the public tour will take you through Hambledon’s scenic vineyard and around the operations of their impressive winery. Following the tour, settle down at the Hambledon Estate for a tasting of two carefully crafted sparkling wines, and take home a bespoke gift bag featuring a bottle of Meonhill Reserve English sparkling wine, exclusive to TRULY guests.
