Furleigh Estate

What's the vibe?

Nestled in the picturesque Dorset countryside, just 5 miles from the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, Furleigh Estate produces still and sparkling wines from grapes grown on its own vines. The setting is tranquil and scenic, with views over the vineyard and countryside that make for a relaxing visit.

Cellar Door Shop:

The shop is open for sales and order collection from 9:30 am until 4:30 pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Tastings:

You can drop in for a self-guided tasting of three wines (two still and one sparkling) during shop opening hours for approximately £10 per person. Booking is recommended, but you can also try your luck by turning up — space is limited and there is no guarantee of availability. The last tasting generally runs until around 4:00 pm.

Tours:

Vineyard and winery tours run from April until the end of October, Wednesday to Saturday, with pre-booking essential. Tours include a walk in the vineyard, a look inside the winery, and a tutored tasting. Prices and exact times vary by tour type, with a Classic Tour offering a shorter experience and a Summer Grand Tour providing a longer experience with additional wines to taste.

Picnics & Events:

During the warmer months, the estate offers pre-booked picnics to accompany tours or tastings on certain days. A range of special events are also hosted at Furleigh Estate throughout the year, with details available on their website.

Accessibility:

Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome in outdoor areas and for tours, but are not permitted inside the winery. Tours and tastings are designed for adults, and due to licensing restrictions, are generally suitable only for visitors aged 18 and over. There is no on-site accommodation.

Furleigh Estate produces a range of exceptional still and traditional method sparkling wines made exclusively from grapes grown on the estate. Their portfolio includes classic method sparkling wines primarily from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as well as a variety of still wines. The winery facilities were purpose-built to support modern winemaking techniques, including gentle pressing and controlled fermentation and maturation environments. Sustainability practices are part of the estate’s ethos, with an emphasis on quality grape growing and careful winemaking.

Furleigh Estate is located at Furleigh Farm, Salwayash, Bridport DT6 5JF.

By Car: The estate is accessed via the B3162, north of Salway Ash, and is approximately 15 miles west of Dorchester and 5 miles from the Jurassic Coast.
