Vineyards to visit and English wines to buy: Tinwood and Gusbourne, Nyetimber



We drove from London to Bognor Regis on the coast of West Sussex. As we neared the coast, we passed signs to wineries. I am now researching wineries so we can do a circular vineyard tour with lunch at a winery and visit to two or three winery shops.

On previous occasions we have visited Nyetimber, which has a stunning setting overlooking the valley. 

Going  west , we also visited a vineyard in Wales. 

Denbies had a wonderful outdoor vineyard tour, and indoor tour, . Their huge supermarket of wines and wine related souvenirs was great. The smart restaurant, where we had booked a table for four for lunch, for entertaining an overseas visitor, was the final perfect touch.

England produces sparkling white wines. From grapes grown on the same chalk that stretches down to the French Champagne region.

Gusborne

Free self guided tour of the winery.


Tinwood

Cream tea with each of their three sparkling wines at about fifty pounds.
