Godstone Vineyard

Godstone Vineyard

Godstone Vineyards has grown Seyval Blanc and Bacchus in the Surrey Hills since 1985, making traditional-method sparkling and still wine by hand.

Godstone Vineyards planted its first vines in 1985 on a south-facing slope of free-draining Upper Greensand in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where slabs of dense ragstone in the soil hold the day's heat into the night. The two varieties grown, Seyval Blanc and Bacchus, are harvested by hand each October by family, friends and volunteers, and made into wine in the traditional method used in Champagne, with a second fermentation in the bottle.
