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.

When to visit

Albourne Estate is open from 11am – 6pm every Saturday and Sunday from April until October for walk-in wine tastings, small group tours and wine sales.

From May to the beginning of September, the estate is open from 4pm – 9pm for Friday Night Supper Club, when local food vendors will supply tasty meals to accompany the wine and views.

Also open on select weekends in December for Christmas shopping.
