- Kent has the most, 27, followed by Hampshire with 19. East and West Sussex together have 33.
- 62 of the 210 vineyards we could place by postcode are within 2 miles of a railway station in a straight line, and 29 are within a mile. Chartham Vineyard in Kent is the closest of all.
- 150 of the 219 are listed by WineGB as open to the public.
- Of the 95 vineyards whose websites say when they were planted or founded, 45 started in 2010 or later. Hambledon in Hampshire, established in 1952, is the oldest on the map.

Where England's vineyards are
Each marker is one of the 219 vineyards and wineries we could confirm. Filled markers are listed by WineGB as open to the public. Open markers are not listed as open, so check before you go. Select a marker for its nearest station and, where the vineyard says, the year it was planted. On a computer, hover over it to see the name.

What this map adds
Our page England's vineyards, county by county shows how many hectares of vines each county has, from the official vineyard register. The register does not name the vineyards. This map does: it shows 219 named vineyards and wineries, with the nearest railway station for each one and, where the vineyard's own website says, the year it was planted or founded. You can download the whole list.
The official register held 1,158 vineyards and wineries across the UK in 2025, 779 of them commercial vineyards. Many are small and have no website, so this map covers the ones we could check, not every vine in England.
Vineyards you can reach by train
We measured the straight-line distance from each vineyard's postcode to the nearest railway station. 29 of the 210 vineyards we could place by postcode are within a mile of a station, and 62 are within 2 miles. Roads and footpaths are longer than a straight line, so check the route before you set off. Use the station filter on the map to see the 47 within 1.5 miles. These are the ones within a mile:

For 9 vineyards we only had a town or village, not a postcode, so we have not counted them here.
England's oldest working vineyards
95 of the vineyards on the map say on their own websites when their first vines were planted or when they were founded. Hambledon, on the chalk of the South Downs in Hampshire, says it was established in 1952 and calls itself England's oldest commercial vineyard. These are the oldest on the map, by the year each vineyard gives:
| Year | Vineyard | County |
|---|---|---|
| 1952 | Hambledon Wine Estate | Hampshire |
| 1969 | Biddenden Vineyards | Kent |
| 1972 | Bolney Wine Estate | West Sussex |
| 1972 | Renishaw Hall Vineyard | Derbyshire |
| 1974 | Breaky Bottom Vineyard | East Sussex |
| 1979 | Bardingley Farm | Kent |
| 1979 | Eglantine Vineyard | Nottinghamshire |
| 1981 | Sandridge Barton | Devon |
| 1982 | Old Luxters Vineyard | Buckinghamshire |
| 1983 | Halfpenny Green Wine Estate | Staffordshire |
| 1985 | Godstone Vineyard | Surrey |
| 1986 | Denbies Wine Estate | Surrey |
| 1986 | Giffords Hall Vineyard | Suffolk |
| 1986 | Hidden Spring Vineyard | East Sussex |
| 1986 | Oatley Vineyard | Somerset |
Most English vineyards are young. Of the 95 with a year, 45 started in 2010 or later. That matches the official figures on our county page, which show the area under vine has grown almost six times since 2000.
| Decade planted or founded | Vineyards |
|---|---|
| 1950s | 1 |
| 1960s | 1 |
| 1970s | 5 |
| 1980s | 13 |
| 1990s | 4 |
| 2000s | 26 |
| 2010s | 33 |
| 2020s | 12 |
Some vineyards changed hands or were replanted, and some give the year the business started, not the year the vines went in. We used the year each vineyard gives.
Counties: named vineyards and hectares of vines
The count of vineyards on our map and the area under vine tell different stories. Hampshire has fewer hectares of vines than Essex but more named vineyards on the map. A county with a few large plantings can have plenty of vines and few names. Hectares are for 2024, from the official register, and come from our county page.
| County | Vineyards on this map | Hectares of vines (2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Kent | 27 | 1,239 |
| West Sussex | 17 | 671 |
| Essex | 11 | 469 |
| East Sussex | 16 | 461 |
| Hampshire | 19 | 426 |
| Surrey | 6 | 130 |
| Dorset | 5 | 97 |
| Devon | 11 | 87 |
| Gloucestershire | 8 | 78 |
| Suffolk | 8 | 76 |
Visiting a vineyard
WineGB, the industry body, lists 150 of the 219 as open to the public. Opening often means tours, tastings or a shop at set times, and many need booking. We do not link to vineyards here, so check a vineyard's own site before you travel.
| Region | Vineyards on the map | Listed as open to the public |
|---|---|---|
| North East | 1 | 0 |
| North West | 0 | 0 |
| Yorkshire and the Humber | 10 | 6 |
| East Midlands | 11 | 8 |
| West Midlands | 18 | 13 |
| East of England | 27 | 21 |
| London | 3 | 3 |
| South East | 102 | 68 |
| South West | 47 | 31 |
| England | 219 | 150 |
Who owns them
Most English vineyards are family businesses, and the map's 4 wineries without their own vineyard buy in grapes from growers. Two estates on the map have Champagne houses behind them. Domaine Evremond near Chilham in Kent is a partnership between Champagne Taittinger and the British wine importer Hatch Mansfield; its website says this was the first time a Champagne house had invested in the UK, and its first vines were planted in 2017. Louis Pommery England is made from grapes grown at Pinglestone Estate in Hampshire, which belongs to Maison Pommery, part of the Vranken-Pommery group.
How we checked
We started from WineGB's public producer directory, which lists about 250 producers in England, and added 13 well-known vineyards that are not WineGB members. We opened each vineyard's own website to check that it grows grapes or makes wine in England today. 12 vineyards, including Three Choirs and Plumpton College, block automated checks on their sites; we include them on WineGB's listing. Producers with no working website are not on the map, so some real vineyards are missing.
Locations come from each vineyard's postcode, using the ONS postcode directory through postcodes.io. Station distances are straight lines from the postcode to the nearest National Rail station. Years come from each vineyard's own website. If your vineyard is missing or a detail is wrong, tell us and we will fix the page: hello@madeinengland.com
