Plumpton College
Plumpton College is the UK's Wine Centre of Excellence in East Sussex, teaching viticulture and oenology on its own ten-hectare vineyard since 1989.
Plumpton College has taught wine since 1989 and calls itself the UK's Wine Centre of Excellence, the country's main degree-granting centre for viticulture and oenology, and the base for the National Wine Training Programme delivered UK-wide. Its work was recognised with a Queen's Anniversary Prize, the highest national honour in British education, and the Duchess of Cornwall opened its Wine Research Facility in 2014.
Cellar door tastings
The conferencing and events team arranges group visits by email, and its bespoke events list names a wine tasting and a Wine Centre tour among the options. Walk-in tastings are not available.
