- Hambledon Vineyard, Hampshire
Hambledon wine cellar has a very rich history. The magic itself started quite a long time ago. Back in 1951 Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones didn’t know what to do with his own property, which later turned out to be a great place for grape cultivation
. The results were glorious drinks that today are known as
the first commercial English wines.

Here you can find the
astounding 170 hectares, which, people say, give some of the most successful sparkling wines in the UK. The soil and the location are probably what assures the perfect conditions for grape growth. An interesting fact is that there is the first vineyard of the
