“Nutbourne is a perfect place to visit on a summer’s day.”
We welcome visitors to the vineyard and cellar door,
offering a vineyard trail, guided tours and picnics.
Vineyard Trail
Open – Monday to Saturday – 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 – you might also spot our family of alpacas or breeding wild fowl along the way. 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 by the glass or bottles to take home.
Scheduled Tours
Available to Book Now – £25 per person
This Summer we will again be hosting our hugely popular guided Vineyard Tours and Tastings, led by either Peter, the vineyard co-owner or Robin, our Cellar Manager.
They will share their extensive knowledge and enthusiasm with you.
We begin by gathering around the historic windmill for tea, coffee and Bridget’s home-made cakes, with stunning views of the South Downs. You will then be taken on a beautiful, informative walk through the vines, wild flowers and down to the lakeside to meet the alpacas, with stops along the way for anecdotes, chat and photographs.
We return to the winery for a refreshing glass of something delicious, where each step of the wine making process will be explained. Finally we move to the wine lodge amongst the vines for a tutored tasting and discussion on a range of Nutbourne’s award-winning sparkling and still wines.
The tour and tasting will last approximately 2 hours but you are welcome to stay afterwards to enjoy more wine and relax.
