Kingscote Vineyard

Kingscote Vineyard

Kingscote Estate is a 70-acre vineyard and working farm in the West Sussex High Weald, built around a fifteenth-century tithe barn.

Kingscote's visitor centre is built from a fifteenth-century tithe barn, on land that was once part of the estate of William Robinson, the horticulturist credited with founding the English cottage garden. The farmhouse itself dates to 1320, built as an ironmaster's house.
