Oastbrook Estate
With the first vines planted by owner and winemaker America Brewer in 2018, Oastbrook Estate is an idyllic vineyard retreat near Robertsbridge, in the Sussex countryside.
The critically acclaimed still and sparkling wines are made with passion with sustainability key to the process. When visiting the Estate, you can take part in wine tours, and even a stay in a Hobbit House on site.
