In the heart of rural Sussex lives Bolney Wine Estate, one of England’s longest established vineyards. The Estate, located in the village of Bolney, is situated on a hill which was part of the Butting Hill One Hundred. In 1972 the estate was founded by Rodney and Janet Pratt, with just 3 acres of vines and a single grape variety. From our humble beginnings, the vineyard has expanded to 39 acres with over 8 varieties grown on site, including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as state-of-the-art winery and disgorging room. In the 1990s Samantha Linter (daughter of the founders) took charge of the winemaking and since then they have won numerous international awards for both out still and sparkling wines. Today three generations of the family are involved in the business. For those wanting to visit, there is plenty to do. Whether you want to explore the vineyards, discover more about winemaking in England, get involved in a wine tasting or enjoy lunch on our stunning viewing balcony overlooking the vines - there is something for everyone!
