Best Vineyards for Self Guided Tours in Surrey

Painshill Park offers self-guided tours through its 18th-century landscape garden, a "living painting" designed by Charles Hamilton. The park encourages visitors to utilize their website for information to enhance their exploration.

Pack a picnic and spread your blanket in one of the many peaceful spots, though dining inside the follies is not permitted. While you can't bring your own wine from home, Painshill has its own small vineyard producing sparkling white and rosé wines, available for purchase in the gift shop when stock allows.

Children are welcome, with free entry for those under 5 years old, and there's a natural play area. Dogs are also very welcome, provided they are kept on a short, fixed lead at all times. Dog waste bins are conveniently located throughout the landscape.

After exploring the 158-acre estate, visitors can find refreshments at Mr. Hamilton's Tea Room, which serves hot and cold lunches and treats. During summer and some school holidays, the Gothic Tower Summer Café offers drinks, cakes, and snacks. There's also a Horsebox Café located by Woollett Bridge seasonally. The gift shop offers a selection of items, including Painshill's own wine.

Grab a map from the cellar door and enjoy the Wildlife Walk, learning all about the biodiversity of the site and how the vineyard maintains its organic status.

The self-guided tour is a great option for family (children aren't permitted on teh regular tours), and your dog is welcome too.

After your self-guided tour, relax in the tasting room or on the picturesque patio, enjoying a glass of wine or tasting flight with a cheese and charcuterie board.

Pack a picnic and grab a bottle of wine from the Cellar Door Shop to enjoy during your visit. Self-guided tours are free and maps can be collected from the Cellar Door Shop.

Afterwards, enjoy wine from the Horsebox Bar, which is open on Saturdays during the summer season.

Explore the High Clandon self-guided Vineyard Trail. Pack a picnic to enjoy, and acquire a bottle of their award-winning sparkling Cuvée from the cellar door. Children are welcomed, and well-behaved dogs on leads are permitted.
