W E L C O M E
Albourne Estate is a family-owned boutique vineyard and winery overlooking the beautiful South Downs, just 8 miles from Brighton. We craft small quantities of exciting and distinctive still and sparkling Sussex wines using only our own carefully grown hand-picked grapes.
Due to the current coronavirus crisis our 2020 programme of Events, Tours & Tastings is on hold. If you already have a booking for an Event or Tour that is cancelled in due course we will either reschedule or refund your ticket price. We will contact you via email. Our thoughts go out to everyone effected by this crisis and we wish you and your family well. We remain able to deliver wine for any orders placed via our website and as a small family business we are very grateful for your support at this time.

Easter Saturday Egg Giveaway - CANCELLED

Drop in on Easter Saturday, 11th April and we'll be giving away a delicious free chocolate mini-egg from local producer, J.Cocoa with every wine purchase.

From our south-facing sun deck you can see over 10 miles of the South Downs from Devil's Dyke in the West to Black Cap Hill in the East.
