Surrey Hills Wine Week: A celebration of Vineyards of the Surrey Hills
The Vineyards of the Surrey Hills are thrilled to announce the very first Surrey Hills Wine Week, running from Saturday May 30 to Sunday June 7, 2026.
Over the course of the week, all seven Surrey Hills vineyards will open their gates with a series of unique events, offering visitors the chance to explore the region’s exceptional wines through immersive tours, tastings and one-of-a-kind experiences.
The Vineyards of the Surrey Hills - Albury Organic Vineyard, Chilworth Manor Vineyard, Denbies Wine Estate, Greyfriars Vineyard, High Clandon, Soloms Court and Tanhurst Estate - produce outstanding wines from the rolling North Downs, nestled within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, just south of London.
