What's the vibe?

Langham Wine Estate is a single-estate vineyard in rural Dorset focused on producing traditional-method English sparkling wines. The estate combines working vineyards with converted barns housing a cellar door, tasting spaces, and a café, creating a relaxed but purposeful setting centred on wine, food, and the surrounding countryside.

Langham Wine Estate welcomes visitors throughout the year, with a cellar door shop, café, and tasting areas on site.

Booking: Guided tours must be booked in advance online. Walk-ins are welcome for a casual drink and a stroll through the vines - no booking needed for that.

Smiths Kitchen: The on-site restaurant serves sharing platters, wood-fired pizza, and Sunday roasts using local Dorset produce. Booking is recommended but walk-ins are welcome. View the kitchen and book a table.

Tours and Tastings: A self-guided tasting and vineyard walk is available from £15 per person. Guided tours run from £25 per person and take approximately two hours, covering the vineyard and winery with tastings across the full sparkling wine range. The Winemaker's Tour and Dorset Experience Tour are available from £37.50 per person. A food supplement of £25 per person can be added for lunch or a vineyard picnic. Browse and book experiences.

Gift Shop: Wines are available to buy at the cellar door.

Private Hire: The Wine Barn and Tasting Room are available for private hire from 2025, accommodating up to 200 guests. The space suits weddings, birthdays, corporate events, movie screenings, and talks, and includes a bar, stage, PA system, heating, and fully openable doors looking out over the vineyard. Feasting menus are available from Smiths Kitchen.

Events: The estate runs a programme of events throughout the year, including live music, Dorset Art Weeks, and bank holiday celebrations. See what's on.

Accommodation: Langham Wine Estate does not offer on-site accommodation, but provides recommendations for nearby places to stay.

Children and Dogs: Dogs are welcome on the estate. Children are welcome and under-16s join guided tours free of charge. Buggies are permitted in the vineyard.

Langham Wine Estate specialises in traditional-method English sparkling wines made exclusively from estate-grown Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. A small selection of still wines is also produced. The winemaking approach is low-intervention, with spontaneous fermentations and minimal fining or filtration, resulting in wines that are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The estate has received significant international recognition for its sparkling wines. At the WineGB Awards 2026, Langham took Gold across its entire sparkling range - the third consecutive year the estate has achieved this. All wines are grown, produced, bottled, and stored on the estate, allowing full control of the process from vine to bottle.

By Car: Langham Wine Estate is located at Crawthorne, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 7NG.

By Public Transport: The nearest train stations are Dorchester South and Moreton. From both stations, onward travel by taxi or bus is required.
