Painshill’s south-facing vineyard produces grapes including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc and Pinot Grigio. The vineyard yields a yearly harvest, and the estate’s own sparkling white and sparkling rosé wines are produced and sold in the Painshill shop.

The vineyard was replanted and restored by Painshill Park Trust; wine production and sales support the garden’s operations.
