Join us this Autumn
From the bustle of harvest to the glow of candlelit dinners, autumn is one of the most magical times to visit Wiston. Each of these events offers a chance to immerse yourself in our wines, our food, and our story. We can’t wait to welcome you.
Harvest Behind-the-Scenes Tours – Take a Peek!
Step into the winery at the most exciting time of year — harvest! Join our team for a behind-the-scenes experience and witness winemaking in action. From the first press of the grapes to the quiet magic of fermentation, you’ll see the journey unfold and taste samples straight from the cellar — from fresh grape juice to fermenting wines and barrel-aged treasures. It’s a fascinating insight into how we transform Sussex grapes into award-winning wines.
Top Drawer Tasting & Dinner
Dates: Selected Friday evenings, autumn & winter
Looking for a truly unforgettable evening? Our Top Drawer Tour & Dinner combines rare wines with seasonal fine dining. Begin with sparkling wine from magnum before a candlelit tasting of vintage wines — including Library Collection Cuvées that are rarely opened. Afterwards, indulge in a six-course dinner at Chalk, celebrating the finest Sussex produce. A perfect autumn escape filled with elegance, flavour, and conversation.
Launch of the Library Collection Blanc de Blancs 2009
Date: 18th September
Be part of history as we release Wiston’s very first Blanc de Blancs vintage, the 2009, never before available commercially. Hosted by the Goring family at Chalk, this exclusive evening begins with welcome canapés and a vertical tasting of rare vintages. After resting gracefully for more than a decade, this wine now reveals the timeless elegance of English sparkling. A one-of-a-kind moment to share with fellow wine lovers.
Harvest Winemaker Dinner
Date: 23rd October
Celebrate the 2025 harvest with a relaxed and flavourful evening at Chalk. Head Chef Jordon presents a seasonal three-course menu, paired with a curated selection of Wiston’s wines — including rare magnums from our cellar that are not available for sale. Winemaker Marcus Rayner-Ward will join the evening, sharing stories and insights from this year’s harvest. With or without wine pairings, it promises an intimate night of food, wine, and conversation.
