What's the vibe?

Coolhurst Vineyards is a small, family-run vineyard in West Sussex, located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The estate focuses on producing limited quantities of English wine, with an emphasis on careful vineyard management and quality-led winemaking.

Coolhurst Vineyards is primarily a working vineyard and winery, with a focus on wine production rather than regular public visiting. Information on standard opening hours, drop-in tastings, or on-site hospitality is limited.


Visits, tastings or tours may be available by prior arrangement. Prospective visitors are advised to check the vineyard's website or contact them directly for the most up-to-date information.

Tours of the vineyard have been offered on the estate, typically including wine tasting and the opportunity to enjoy a picnic on the grounds. These visits are arranged in advance rather than on a drop-in basis.

Wines can be purchased directly from the vineyard - collections from the site are available, alongside free local delivery to the Horsham area. Browse the range at the online shop.

Coolhurst Vineyards produces a range of English wines, with a particular focus on traditional method sparkling wines. Wines include single-varietal expressions made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as well as small-batch releases produced in limited quantities.

Grapes are sourced from the estate’s own vineyard, where soils differ from the chalk-dominated geology found elsewhere in southern England. Fruit is hand harvested and used to produce wines that reflect the character of the site and vintage.

Coolhurst wines have received recognition in national wine competitions and industry selections over time. Some wines are produced using external winemaking facilities, with details varying by vintage and release.

Coolhurst Vineyards is located on Brighton Road, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13 6HY.
