Tinwood Estate in West Sussex open for UK staycations!

With UK minimoons set to sky rocket this year, and lockdown restrictions due to relax, Tinwood Estate in West Sussex is delighted to throw open the gates to guests once more for Vineyard Tours, Wine Tastings, Afternoon Tea and Overnight Stays!

Since the first vines were planted in 2007 at the foot of the South Downs National Park, Tinwood Estate has quickly established a reputation for producing the very finest English sparkling wines, including the Estate Brut, the Blanc de Blancs and an exquisite Rosé. They recently released their 2018 vintages of all three varieties. Owner Art Tukker says, "The weather in 2018 was the best year we've ever had at Tinwood, and we're expecting great things from this vintage. I would go so far as to say this was the vintage of a generation".

Just over an hour from London, next door to the world famous Goodwood Estate, Tinwood is perfect for a day trip to meet the winegrowers themselves and gain an insight into how they grow the vines and make the wines, with a vineyard tour and full tasting experience. The recently-built tasting room already boasts a vast outdoor south-facing terrace, overlooking the vines, and a Tinwood marquee with heating will be ready should the weather not be so favourable. Taking 1.5 hours, you'll be shown around the vines and estate, and then taste three glasses of delicious sparkling wine - after the tour you're welcome to stay for an extra glass or a cold bottle!
Daily Vineyard Tours and wine tasting start from £18 pp and run daily at 3pm, and on Saturdays at both 12pm and 3pm.
