Awarded Winery of the Year in both 2018 and 2020, family-run Wiston Estate offers Wine Tours from their vineyard nestled in the rolling South Downs
Wiston Estate has been owned and managed by the Goring family since 1743 and is overseen today by Harry and Pip Goring. It was Pip’s long-held vision to plant vines on the estate and the picturesque 6.5ha vineyard, which was planted in 2006, is the fruit of her dream and tenacity. With winemaker Dermot Sugrue at the helm, the team produces English Sparkling wines of exceptional purity and finesse from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grown on their chalk vineyard in West Sussex.Wiston offers Vineyard & Winery Tours by appointment April to October. Each scheduled tour begins with fresh coffee and biscuits in their Wine Barn overlooking the vines and is followed by an informative walk through the vineyard. There is then a short tractor-pulled trailer ride over the South Downs to visit the winery with our traditional Coquard Press (unique to the UK) where we follow the journey of a grape from harvest to finished bottle. The tour concludes back at the Wine Barn with a tutored tasting of 4 of Wiston’s award-winning Sparkling wines. These Scheduled Tours are £20 per person and last approximately 2.5 hours. Also available are Food & Wine Tasting Tours, for £45 per person, where Wiston’s Vineyard Tour concludes with a tutored tasting of 5 of their award-winning Sparkling wines each paired with canapés made from delicious local produce.
