Chilworth Manor Vineyard

About Chilworth Manor Vineyard

Chilworth Manor Vineyard is a distinguished English winery nestled in the beautiful Surrey countryside near Guildford. Established in 2014, this 3.53-hectare vineyard has quickly established itself as one of the most promising wine producers in the South East England region. The estate benefits from a prime location on Sussex sandstone soils, which provide excellent drainage and mineral complexity that translates beautifully into the finished wines.

The vineyard focuses on classic Champagne grape varieties, with plantings of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and the early-ripening Precoce. This carefully selected variety mix allows the winemaking team to craft wines that showcase the exceptional quality potential of Surrey terroir. The Chardonnay parcels form the backbone of the sparkling wine programme, delivering elegant fruit character and fine natural acidity, while the Pinot Meunier contributes aromatic depth and a supple, approachable quality to the blends.

Chilworth Manor Vineyard is committed to producing wine that genuinely reflects its unique Sense of Place, with each bottle capturing the distinctive character of the Surrey hillsides. The winemaking philosophy prioritises minimal intervention, allowing the natural qualities of the grapes and terroir to shine through in every vintage. Visitors to the estate can experience these wines firsthand, as Chilworth Manor Vineyard opens by appointment for wine tours and tastings.

Exploring the vineyard offers a wonderful opportunity to wander through the rolling rows of vines while learning about the annual cycle of grape growing in this corner of England. The team welcomes visitors who wish to discover more about English viticulture and sample the wines directly from the estate. Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or curious newcomer to English wine, a visit to Chilworth Manor Vineyard provides an intimate and educational experience in one of Surrey most attractive rural settings.
