Albourne Estate
Albourne Estate
Situated at the foot of the South Downs, just outside the picturesque village of Hurstpierpoint, Albourne Estate is in an idyllic position. Using only their own sustainably grown grapes they produce small quantities of award-winning still and sparkling English wine.
As a relative newcomer, only established in 2010 by a husband and wife team, Albourne Estate has rapidly become known as an innovative and quality-led English wine producer. Having established a vineyard, winery and glorious new Tasting Room, this award-winning Estate is well worth a visit.
