Hazy sunlight, beautiful gardens, chinking glasses of deliciously cool wine - sound like your kind of evening?

Your tickets include a welcome glass of  Squerryes Classic 2022 Brut (or alcohol-free alternative) and an exciting talk by Squerryes Vineyard about how the Warde family came to be a top producer of English sparkling wine.

Squerryes Vineyard will be selling wine by the glass and bottle for the remainder of the evening for you to enjoy as you wander the gardens, or to take home with you afterwards. Squerryes Vineyard will also be providing non-alcoholic drinks.

Please note no food will be available, but you are welcome to bring along a picnic. Alcoholic beverages cannot be bought in and must be purchased from the bar. This is an adults-only event and all guests must be aged 18 or over.
