This vineyard is open by appointment only. Contact them directly to arrange a visit.

No public drop-in hours. Private vineyard tours and tastings are by appointment only - get in touch via the vineyards website to arrange a visit.

Opening hours can change for private events - it's always worth checking the vineyard's website before you visit.

Tours and tastings at Chase End are by appointment only, arranged directly with the vineyard through their website. There's no published price, duration, or set visiting hours, so it's worth confirming these when you get in touch, and the same route handles wine enquiries too, since there's no separate shop.

The vineyard grows Rondo, Regent, and Bacchus grapes, but Three Choirs Vineyard in Newent does the winemaking, turning the harvest into four wines under the Chase End name: a Bacchus (elderflower, peardrop, orchard apple), a dry rosé called Chase Blush (strawberry, raspberry, floral blossom), a red called Red Fox (redcurrant, savoury herbs, oak, a hint of smoke), and a traditional-method sparkling, the Chase End Classic Cuvee (orchard apple, gooseberry, lemon blossom).

Red Fox takes its name from the fox on the vineyard's own logo. None of the wines have published prices or vintages online, since they're sold through direct enquiry rather than a shop.

From the M50, leave at Junction 2 and take the A417 towards Ledbury. Take the first right, signposted Bromsberrow, onto Albright Lane, and follow it to the War Memorial. Continue to the next junction, where the vineyard's signed entrance is.

One of six vineyards in the Malvern Hills Vineyards collaboration, Chase End's own wine is made a few miles away at Three Choirs Vineyards in Newent, worth visiting in its own right. Two Beacons Vineyard, on the Herefordshire side of the Hills, is part of the same collaboration.

The vineyard's name comes from Chase End Hill, the southernmost point of the Malvern Hills range, historically the meeting point of two fox-hunting circuits, the Ledbury Hunt and the South Worcestershire Hunt. The vines grow in light, well-drained sandy soil, and benefit from the same microclimate that runs the length of the Hills.
