1. Greyfriars Vineyard
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 104 reviews
Under new management since October 2010, we are a commercial vineyard producing award winning English Sparkling wine. Greyfriars was originally planted in 1989 and has been producing great grapes and wines for over 20 years. We took over in late 2010 with the aim of expanding the vineyard dramatically, producing stunning English sparkling wine and building a state of the art winery, cellar and tasting room. We are well on the way to that goal. We have planted over 30 acres of new vines, predominantly the three classical Champagne grape varieties; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. This will enable us to create a small range of spectacular English sparkling wines reflecting the unique local soil conditions, climate and heritage of the Surrey North Downs. The Downs in southern England are blessed with similar geological and soil conditions to the Champagne region in France. At Greyfriars we have a clay/loam topsoil over several hundred feet of wonderful free draining Cretaceous chalk. The chalk was originally deposited over a hundred million years ago when this entire area was submerged under a tropical sea. The highest part of the estate offers splendid views towards the South Downs and east towards Guildford and beyond. In September 2013 we released the first wine made entirely by our own fair hands, a delicious sparkling rose, the first release of many. By the end of the decade we will be producing 100,000 bottles a year.

I booked this for my husbands birthday, we made Massaman curry from scratch, stir fried veg and mango sticky rice. It was so fun to make the curry, seeing all the ingredients and how it comes together. Sue is a great teacher and has so much knowledge and we learnt so much from today! It all tasted incredible and took us back as if we were in Thailand again. We made so much food, we also got to take home what we made and have for dinner. Great experience, yummy food! Thank you for a lovely day
