Who we are
About the farm
On the site of a former farm near Sheffield Park Garden and the Bluebell Steam Railway in East Sussex, we grow grapes and make traditional-method sparkling wines (Hindleap) and still wines (Ashdown). Since our first plantings in 2005 the vineyard has more than doubled: today we have nearly 100 acres (about 40 ha) under vine across East and West Sussex, with over 100,000 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Seyval Blanc, Bacchus, Ortega, Chasselas and Merlot. We sell our wines at our cellar door and in our online shop; we offer guided vineyard and winery tours with tastings, self-guided tastings, a vineyard and woodland trail, and wine by the glass on our terrace.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
