Who we are
About the farm
In West Chiltington, West Sussex, we tend our Southlands Valley Vineyard – just 2 hectares on a south-facing slope north of the South Downs, where we grow Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier on Lower Greensand loam. Planted in 2000, the vineyard is a community enterprise: owned by the Lavery family since 2014 and worked by a co-operative of 62 local volunteers, with hand harvesting and pesticides used only when absolutely necessary. Our wine is made by the Wiston Estate by the traditional method and aged for at least three years; we sell our Smock Alley sparkling wines at our Saturday cellar door, online with UK delivery and through local stockists, and offer vineyard tours and tastings from April to October.

Write a review
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.
