Having visited one of the family’s three restaurants, the Shed, in London’s Notting-hill and enjoyed an excellent evening with charming staff and imaginative cuisine, we decided to also check out the vineyard. Set in tranquil and delightful countryside, Nutbourne is a little masterpiece created by hard work and, I suspect, boundless energy, which continues to expand its operations. After a very civilised stroll through the vines, we were given an excellent wine tasting tour through Nutbourne’s range of wines from their Nutty Brut ( an excellent sparkling wine ) to their crisp Chardonnay. We were accompanied by my American brother and his wife, who had taken us to Napa Valley, last year. Both excursions were thoroughly enjoyable ! Do try Nutbourne’s restaurants, wines and round it off with a visit to the vineyard.

A beautiful vineyard and winery in the South Downs National Park, West Sussex. We make still white, rosé and sparkling wines. We have special tours of the vineyard and winery given by the winemaker followed by a wine tasting in the winery, a Grade II listed Victorian barn, housing state of the art wine production equipment.

Had a weekend in wonderful West Sussex. Walked from Fittleworth to Stopham Vineyard for a wine tour and tasting. Toured the vineyard with fantastic views across the Downs, and then wandered over to the barns for a great overview of the wine making process, from Simon... and then the tasting! The day was rounded off with a lovely two course meal at The White Hart, overlooking the 13th century bridge. Back at home we are currently drinking a glass of Stopham Pinot - nice. Do this tour - buy the wine - you'll love it.

I had a trip around the brewery at Partridge Green, with friends, which was very informative and led by a very informative guide, Graham. We were taken through the whole brewing process, from water to end product including the canning process. Staff at the brewery were really friendly and we were invited to hep ourselves to five different beers throughout the visit. The brewery shop has branded clothing, beers on tap and bottled cans and beers from their own brews as well as brews both local and from near and far. A very worthwhile trip.

Definitely the best sparklingly wine tasting experience we’ve had in England! Led by the owner, she gave a wonderful short tour of the vineyard and a highly entertaining and informative guided wine tasting set in the excellent new tasting room with spacious indoor and outdoor areas. The 3 sparkling wines on offer are excellent - definitely on a par with champagne. Also try the generous sharing cheese platter! All in all a well deserved 5 star experience

We are a true traditional smokery. We hand fillet every side, cure far longer with just salt and hang smoke in our brick kilns for over 24hrs using only whole oak logs. Since 1964. We don’t claim to be a traditional smokery, we are one.

I bought this as part of a birthday gift for my real ale loving husband and it was very well received. Really enjoyable, great beers and lovely people. We enjoyed sampling several ales (very generous samples too????) while listening and chatting about the history and processes used. Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely be making a return visit. Kathie G.

I loved this experience: what a magical morning we had with some October blue skies.... we’re from the area but the South Downs and views across the vineyard were beautiful. Our tour host taught us a lot about the complexities of running such a british boutique vineyard and the tasting session was very enjoyable too :) Thanks Albourne for a great autumn morning!
