Gift guide
Most of the well-known English estates sell their own gift vouchers. Some are for a set tour, some are a sum of money, and a few vineyards sell both. We read each vineyard’s own voucher page to find out what it covers, how long it lasts and how it reaches you.
If you know what they would enjoy, buy a set experience, such as a tour and tasting for two. If you are not sure, a money voucher leaves the choice to them, and at Rathfinny, Hambledon and Ridgeview it can go on wine as well as a visit. Rathfinny’s and Hattingley Valley’s last two years, and most of the others one. For a present bought late, pick one that comes by email. Chapel Down, Gusbourne, Nyetimber, Denbies, Wiston and Biddenden all let you choose the day it arrives.
These are the estates most people visit. Where a column says “not stated”, the vineyard’s voucher page did not say, so ask before you buy if it matters.

Rathfinny’s is the one we would give someone whose plans we did not know. It lasts two years, and they can spend it on a tour, lunch, a room or a case of wine. Nyetimber’s visits run on set open days, and the 2026 ones sold out, so treat its card as a wine present that might become a visit.
These mostly cost less than the larger estates, and several sell a place on a tour for one person, so you can buy for a couple or a group of friends.
