Best Vineyards in Hampshire

Hampshire has become one of England’s strongest regions for sparkling wine, with vineyards planted across the chalk downs that run west from Winchester. The wines here tend to show a crisp, precise style, and many estates have picked up awards on the international stage. Still wines are a smaller share but are slowly making their mark.

Visitors can base themselves in Winchester, with its cathedral, markets and easy train connections, or explore from the New Forest, where vineyards sit alongside heath and woodland. Expect tastings, vineyard tours, and often restaurants or cafés that showcase local produce. Some estates also offer places to stay among the vines.

With its combination of top-flight sparkling houses and welcoming visitor experiences, these are the Hampshire vineyards worth visiting first.
