“Nutbourne is a perfect place to visit on a summer’s day.”
We welcome visitors to the vineyard and cellar door all year round.
In Winter you can wander through the vines along our vineyard trail, take in the views from the windmill balcony, enjoy a selection of our wines with a cheese platter and pick up a bottle or two to take away.
From Easter to Harvest in September, we offer wine by the glass, picnics, guided tours and events. You can now purchase a gift voucher for the 2024 season →
