Best Vineyards With Views in England and Wales

Charles Palmer Vineyards in the Brede valley, East Sussex, has the sea on one side and the vines on the other. Look right as you arrive and you'll catch the sea in the distance. The vines roll down the valley the other way, and picnic benches let you look over them with a glass or a bite. It is open Wednesday to Sunday, with Hastings the nearest station.

Pant Du in Snowdonia looks over Snowdon and Caernarfon Bay on the Gwynedd coast. It is open Wednesday to Sunday all year and has a café. Guided tours run at weekends in summer and need booking in advance.

Robin Hood's Bay Vineyard sits on a hillside above the village on the North Yorkshire coast, and you can see the sea from it. Visits are by arrangement: the cellar door is by appointment, and tours run on set dates through the season.

The Watch House Tasting Barn at Chilworth Manor in Surrey looks out to the vines through the front window, with woodland behind it that makes the room feel cosy. A visit deserves a walk up St Martha's Hill to the church, which has a good view back over the vineyard. Visits are by ticketed tour, tasting or event rather than drop-in.

Kinsbrook in Thakeham, West Sussex, has its view from the restaurant, where two of the four walls are super-wide windows and doors that open right up. There is plenty of outdoor seating too, so you can sit outside without booking, though a table in the restaurant is worth booking at weekends. It is open every day, and dogs are welcome in the restaurant and around the vineyard.

The tasting building at Helme Edge Vineyard in West Yorkshire looks down on Helme village, with the Pennines on the horizon. The vineyard opened in 2025, and tours and tastings are by appointment.

Roebuck Estates near Petworth, West Sussex, has the vines sloping away below you and the South Downs in the distance. Sunset Sipping on Friday evenings from May to September takes place in an open-sided tipi among the vines, with a glass of Roebuck sparkling wine and a pizza as the sun goes down. The Sparkling Wine Bar opens on Saturdays and Sundays in season and needs no booking. Dogs on a lead are welcome at Sunset Sipping.

Tours at Exton Park in Hampshire walk the vines with the South Downs in view. They run on Fridays, with some Saturday dates added for 2026, and need booking in advance.

Artelium Wine Estate near Plumpton in East Sussex looks across to the South Downs rather than over its own vines. The best way to take it in is an al fresco lunch.

Denbies in the Surrey Hills has walking routes through the vines with views across the valley. On the Vineyard Train Tour tasting, the train stops at a scenic point for a pour of sparkling wine. It is open daily.

Wiston Estate in West Sussex has walking routes with stunning views. The views come on the walk rather than from the tasting room or restaurant, so it suits a walk before a glass. It is open Wednesday to Sunday.

Quoit at Cross in Mid Devon looks over the Exe valley, and you see it from the vines on its tour. Tours and tastings are by booking only, on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings from April to September.

On a clear day you can see London from High Clandon, a small vineyard near Guildford in Surrey. Open Days with free drop-in entry run from spring to autumn, with tours on the day at 11.30am and 2.30pm, and the rest of the year visits are by booked Tour, Talk and Tasting. Dogs are welcome.
