Vineyards & Breweries in Surrey

Chalk soils, sheltered countryside and, in a good year, plenty of sunshine. Surrey is leading the way in English wines and challenging traditional wine and sparkling wine producers with a vintage harvest of award winning wines. Home to a growing number of vineyards, including Denbies, England’s largest vineyard situated amongst the lush green hills of the North Downs, Surrey is rapidly making itself the capital of wine production in the country. Supplying local pubs, restaurants and shops and also listed in supermarkets such as Waitrose, there are lots of places you can get your hands on a bottle of Denbies` award winning wine. You can also take a trip and tour of the vineyard itself, enjoy a spot of wine tasting and learn more about the growth of wine production in the area.

Try the new self-guided vineyard tour at Albury Vineyard? It's free to do, and a great way to find out a bit more about this organic vineyard located in the Surrey Hills.

Greyfriars Vineyard, situated on the south facing chalk slopes of the Hog’s Back a few miles to the west of Guildford offers informative tours and tastings of their award winning wine.
