What's the vibe?

Kinsbrook is busy, social, and built around people spending time together rather than just tasting wine and leaving. It feels closer to a neighbourhood hangout than a traditional vineyard, with dogs wandering between tables, families staying for lunch, and locals dropping in as much for the atmosphere as for what’s in the glass. The setup is informal and inclusive, without losing sight of the wine itself.

Kinsbrook Vineyard is located at West Chiltington Road, Thakeham, West Sussex, RH20 2LU. There is ample free parking on site.

Kinsbrook farms several vineyard sites across West Sussex, growing varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus, Pinot Gris, and Précoce Pinot Noir. Wines are released under the KIN label and include still whites, sparkling wines, and rosés.

The style tends towards freshness and drinkability, designed to work as well with food and social settings as in a tasting lineup. In 2025, Kinsbrook opened its own on-site winery, allowing full control over the winemaking process from vine to bottle and supporting a more hands-on, site-led approach going forward.

Sustainability is central to how the vineyard operates, from vineyard practices to the way the wider site is run, with a focus on long-term land use rather than short-term output.

Kinsbrook has grown quickly compared to many English vineyards, but its identity is less about scale and more about use. The site is designed to work as a shared space for eating, drinking, and events, with wine as the anchor rather than the sole focus.

Opening an on-site winery marked a shift towards greater independence in production, while the broader hospitality offering reflects a deliberate move to make vineyards feel less exclusive and more part of everyday rural life in West Sussex.
