“Nutbourne is a perfect place to visit on a summer’s day.”
We welcome visitors to the cellar door all year round, to wander through the vines along our vineyard trail and take in the views from the windmill balcony. From Monday to Saturday we offer wine by the glass and platters to enjoy with tastings.
From Easter to Harvest you can book to join guided tours and events in the wine lodge. In Winter you can pick up a bottle or two from our range of still and sparkling to take away and enjoy at home.
Vineyard Trail
Currently Open – Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm – Free of charge
Follow our self-guided trail around the vines to discover how we grow grapes and explore special little spots throughout the vineyard. Look out for the vine quiz on our information signs, bio-diverse wild strips promoting insect and bird life and an ancient oak sculpture in pride of place amongst the vines. The Windmill, Viewing Platform and Wine Lodge are great locations to enjoy views of the South Downs. Our veranda Cellar Door is open to buy wine to take home.
In Winter we suggest you bring suitable footwear as it is muddy in the vines.

Winemaking Tours & Tastings
Book Now – Saturday 28th September & 5th October – £32 per Person
Harvest is one of the most exciting times to visit Nutbourne and we’re inviting you to join us in the winery to see behind the scenes.
Peter Gladwin, the owner of Nutbourne Vineyards, will present an in-depth wine making experience, explaining each step of the process. We will taste everything, from the unadulterated fruit on the vines, pre-fermented juice, to tank samples of the ferments underway. This will be followed by a blending session then a “vertical tasting” of different vintages of one of our award winning wines.
The tour will begin in the Wine Lodge beside the historic windmill with tea, coffee and Bridget Gladwin’s homemade cakes, so you can take in our stunning views of the South Downs.
Arrive 11am for 11:30 start, lasts two hours.
Please email info@nutbournevineyards.com or call 01798 815196 if you have a voucher for a tour and tasting that you would like to redeem.
