Buzzards Valley Wines

What's the vibe?

Buzzards Valley Wines is a long-established, family-run vineyard and winery set on a mixed-use rural estate in the Canwell Valley. In addition to wine production, the site hosts several small visitor-facing businesses, creating a relaxed, informal destination rather than a single-purpose vineyard attraction.

Visiting:

Buzzards Valley Wines is open year-round, typically from 9am to 5pm, seven days a week. Casual visits to the shop, bistro and grounds do not require booking.



Tours & Tastings:

Guided vineyard and winery tours are available by advance booking, including mixed-group evening tours. Private tastings and group experiences are also offered via the on-site tasting hut. Availability and pricing vary by season.

Food & Drink:

Kiki’s Bistro operates on site, serving breakfast and lunch during daytime hours. The estate also includes an artisan shop selling Buzzards Valley wines and other locally sourced products.

Dogs & Children:

The site is family-friendly. Dogs are welcome on leads on the nature trail, which operates seasonally and is not suitable for pushchairs or mobility aids due to uneven ground.

Buzzards Valley Wines produces a broad range of still white, rosé and red wines, alongside traditional method sparkling wines. Grape varieties grown on site include Seyval Blanc, Rondo, Regent, Reichensteiner, Phoenix, Madeleine Angevine and Pinot Noir.

All wines are produced on site, with grape growing, winemaking, bottling and labelling carried out at the estate winery. The wines are vegan-friendly and made with low sulphur additions.

Several wines have received awards at international competitions, including silver and bronze medals at the International London Wine Competition. The overall focus is on accessible, small-batch English wines rather than single-varietal or terroir-driven releases.
