Top Sussex Wine Producers have teamed together to form ‘Sussex Wineries’ with the aim of promoting regional Sussex Wine tourism. Launched at the Brighton seaside restaurant Murmur on Monday evening, industry, press, trade and peers gathered together to celebrate this new collaboration.
Sussex Wineries is a joining together of inspiring wine estates who are responsible for producing many internationally acclaimed wines; featuring Albourne Estate, Bluebell Vineyard Estates, Bolney Wine Estate, Oxney Organic, Rathfinny Estate, Ridgeview, Stopham Vineyards and Wiston Estate.
Sussex is now widely regarded as producing some of the best sparkling wine in the world with wine producers having already won trophies in many international wine competitions. Sussex vineyards are based on a diverse range of soil types, including the iconic chalk of the South Downs. Sussex is also recognised as one of the sunniest areas in England. These inherent natural factors make Sussex an ideal region to produce grapes of outstanding quality for wine production
The Sussex Wine website http://sussexwineries.co.uk/ is now live with information about all the wineries and opportunities for visitors locally, nationally and internationally. The first collaborative event is Sussex Wineries Weekend celebrating ‘Sussex Day’ from the 15th – 17th of June. Each winery will have a schedule of events throughout the weekend to encourage visitors to experience the diversity of what is on offer in Sussex as a wine region.
