“Britain’s poshest pub crawl”
In celebration of our Summer Spectacular wine festival weekend and #EnglishWineWeek, this year’s VoSH charity walk, featuring The High Sheriff of Surrey, Peter Cluff, took place on Saturday June 21.
The group hiked 20 miles through the beautiful Surrey Hills National Landscape visiting all five of the original Vineyards of the Surrey Hills members, from Greyfriars Vineyard to Denbies Wine Estate via Chilworth Manor Vineyard, Albury Vineyard and High Clandon Estate Vineyard.
As well as exploring our beautiful Surrey Hills wine route and sampling award-winning English wines, the walkers raised funds for two very important causes - Guildford Philanthropy and the High Sheriff of Surrey’s Youth Awards. To date they’ve raised nearly £13,500 with this year’s efforts.
