Tractor at Tinwood Vineyard

Tinwood Estate is located in Halnaker, just north of Chichester in West Sussex. Founded in 2007, the estate has been growing three traditional Champagne variety grapes to produce three Sussex Sparkling wines.

The Harvest Experience will take place on Friday 11th, Sunday 13th, Thursday 17th, Friday 18th, Saturday 19th, and Sunday 20th of October. This is an opportunity to witness this bustling activity of grape-picking up close. Actively participate in a memorable day out in a beautiful setting.

Join our Wine Club for an exclusive Harvest Experience on Thursday 10th October.

Tinwood’s Harvest Experience balances hard work and rewarding indulgence. You’ll spend a couple of hours picking grapes, culminating in a well-deserved three-course harvest lunch. This will be complemented by Tinwood wines.

The Harvest Experience offers great value at just £65 per person.

9AM: Arrive at Tinwood Estate, where Art and Jody, the vineyard owners, will greet you with coffee and cakes. The team begins by explaining the grape-picking process, emphasising that only the finest grapes are selected to craft our delicious sparkling wines. We hand-pick all grapes to ensure the highest wine quality.

9:30AM: Start working alongside our experienced vineyard team for 2 hours. Working closely with the team allows you to ask questions and discover the inner workings of the vineyard. In these 2 hours, you will harvest one of our three grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier.

12.00PM: Enjoy a three-course rustic Harvest lunch. Each course is thoughtfully paired with a different glass of our three sparkling wines. Relax, and rejuvenate with a glass of wine overlooking the vines.

What is a Vintage Wine?

A wine’s vintage refers to the year that the grapes were picked. Every grape at Tinwood Estate is hand-picked to ensure you have the best quality grapes in your wine. The vintage will have a different character depending on and defined by the growing conditions of that year, which is why Tinwood Estate chooses to produce only vintage wine. 

The grapes are always picked at harvest which is usually three weeks towards the end of September, into the first few weeks of October. In 2023 Tinwood Estate picked 307.6 tonnes of grapes, their best yield yet.
