A Guide to the Vineyards of the South East

South East England is the heartland of English wine, home to the country’s highest concentration of vineyards and its most established wine tourism routes. The region stretches from Surrey and Kent through Sussex and Hampshire, with each county offering a slightly different balance of wine style, landscape and visitor experience.

While the South East is often discussed as a single wine region, it’s more useful for visitors to think in terms of counties. Distances are short, styles vary noticeably, and the right choice often depends on whether you’re prioritising sparkling wine, still wines, scenery, food, or ease of access from London.
