Enjoy a 2-hour Vineyard Experience including a talk, tour & wine tasting in the surroundings of our beautiful Nottinghamshire vineyard.
 

Set amongst the rolling countryside of south Nottinghamshire, the vines of Hanwell Wine Estate are being hand-tended to grow grapes for English Sparkling Wine. Helenka and William Brown are the second generation of wine growers in Nottinghamshire. The grapes grown at Hanwell Wine Estate are taken to Helenka’s father to be made into wine. International award-winning winemaker Tony Skuriat is just 10 minutes away at Eglantine Winery also in South Nottinghamshire.
