Each of these is a visit to the vineyard itself, with a tasting. They suit someone who is happy to choose a date and make their own way there.
A guided tour of the vineyard and winery with a tutored tasting, at one of England’s biggest producers. Vouchers for a cheese and wine pairing or lunch at The Swan, its restaurant, cost more.
Good to know Chapel Down sends its vouchers by email, so they work as a last-minute present.
For more Kent ideas, including tastings under £30 at smaller estates, see the gift guide on our sister site, Kent Wine Tours.
An open voucher that covers a tour and tasting, a meal, a night in the Flint Barns or wine from the cellar door, so they choose how to spend it. Tours take about an hour and three quarters with a tutored tasting.
A wine pairing tour and tasting (£30) or the longer Bolney Experience (£60), or a money voucher from £10 that also works in the café, the restaurant and the shop. Bolney is a few minutes off the A23, so it is an easy trip from Brighton or London.
A tour of a sparkling wine estate under the South Downs, with a tasting, in about an hour and a half. One of the best-value vineyard vouchers we know of.
Good to know Valid for a year.
For someone who would rather choose their own: a gift card for Nyetimber, one of England’s best-known sparkling wine producers. It can go on bottles, cases or one of the estate’s visitor experiences, which run on set dates rather than every day.
Good to know Sent by email, on a date you choose. Valid for 12 months, and only at nyetimber.com.
Vouchers for tours, tastings, meals and a night at the estate’s own vineyard hotel, as a set experience or an open amount. Dorking is on the railway from London, so nobody has to drive home.
Good to know Sent as e-vouchers.
A two-hour tour and tasting at the estate often called England’s oldest commercial vineyard, first planted in 1952 in the chalk of the South Downs.
Good to know The voucher is valid for twelve months and visitors must be 18 or over. Through October the vineyard and winery are closed for harvest, so a tour booked then becomes a seated tasting.
A two-hour tour of one of Hampshire’s best-known sparkling wine makers, with a tasting of four wines.
Good to know Tours run Friday to Sunday and are paused for harvest until 23 October 2026. The retailer voucher is valid for twelve months.
