About this event

Come and experience the quiet beauty of Painshill at dusk – and discover our sparkling wine! When Charles Hamilton embarked on creating Painshill, the planting of a vineyard was one of his first projects. Despite a widely held belief that wine ‘fit to drink’ would be impossible in Britain, by the middle of the 18th century Hamilton was producing sparkling wine that he successfully sold – and today Charles Hamilton and his vineyard at Painshill are credited with proving that wine production in Britain is possible. Guided by wine expert and Champagne Master Heather Dougherty, at this special event you can enjoy an exclusive summer evening tour of Painshill, taking in the vineyard, Gothic Temple and Great Lawn – where you’ll find Painshill’s famous Cork Oak recognised as one of the oldest in the UK. With tastings of Surrey wines, including Painshill Sparkling Rosé, along the way, and time to slow down, sit and watch the sunlight fade over the vines, this promises to be a truly memorable evening. Please note: This is an outdoor walking event, so we recommend wearing weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable footwear. Timings are approximate.
