Published 21/09/2026

New Year's Eve falls on Thursday 31 December 2026, and English vineyards mark it with dinners, parties and overnight stays. This guide lists the events vineyards have announced so far, updated as new ones are confirmed, along with some from last year to show what to expect.

What Makes a Vineyard Good for New Year's Eve Events

New Year's Eve at a vineyard is usually a dinner with English sparkling wine, in a barn, a manor house or a restaurant with the vines outside the window. The format varies from a dinner and dance to a house party, so it is worth checking the running order before you book.

In previous years, West Sussex's Leonardslee has hosted a dinner of three or four courses with English sparkling wine and canapés on arrival, a live DJ, and overnight stays at The Vineyard Hotel. North Yorkshire's Carlton Towers has held a candlelit three-course dinner with welcome fizz, dancing and a midnight countdown with live bagpipes.

Others have gone for something more casual. Devon's Lympstone Manor has run an intimate house party with fine wines and good company, and Shropshire's Hencote has hosted an Abba-themed New Year's Eve party.

Some vineyards have also opened on New Year's Day for anyone starting the year more gently. Westwell has served bacon butties and fizz with vineyard walks and board games, Balfour Winery has offered flatbreads and cold-cut platters with a wander through the vineyards and orchards, and Carlton Towers has served a one-course brunch by the fireplace.

New Year's Eve is always 31 December. Events are ticketed, and some come with an overnight package, so it's worth booking as soon as details are announced. Sign up for our emails below and we'll let you know as soon as events are listed.
