Sunday the 28th of June is set to be one of the hottest dates of the summer at Hambledon Wine Estate, as Vineyards of Hampshire Fizz Fest returns for its 12th year running!
For one day only, Hampshire’s leading vineyards gather together here at Hambledon for a celebration of sparkling and still wines, live music, local food and the very best of English wine country. Set against the rolling hills of the South Downs, it’s the perfect excuse to plan a day out with friends and experience the estate in full summer swing.
Your ticket includes entry to Fizz Fest, a timed session in the Tasting Marquee and access to the Hambledon After-Party from 4:30 pm.
This year’s vineyards include:
Hambledon Wine Estate, Black Chalk, Danebury Vineyards, Exton Park, The Grange, Hattingley, Louis Pommery England and Raimes.
Tickets are £37 per person plus booking fee.
Make a day of it
New for this year, you can make even more of your visit by booking a Brunch or Lunch in The Restaurant at Hambledon. Start your day with a relaxed brunch before heading into the tasting, or settle in for a long lunch as part of your summer Sunday on the estate.
Alongside the marquee tastings, we’ll have lots happening across the day, including live music, local street food and the chance to explore more of Hambledon with optional masterclasses and guided vineyard and winery tours.
When booking, you can choose from two Tasting Marquee sessions:
Session A: 12pm – 2pm
Session B: 2.30pm – 4.30pm
Whether you prefer to taste earlier and linger afterwards, or ease into the afternoon before the after-party begins, both options give you the chance to discover wines from some of Hampshire’s most exciting producers and meet the people behind them.
Add a Masterclass or Vineyard Tour
If you’d like to go beyond the main tasting, there are also bookable masterclasses and tours throughout the day.
Masterclasses: £25 per ticket | 45 minutes

Stay a Little While Longer
When the Tasting Marquee closes at 4.30pm, the day doesn’t end there. The Hambledon bar will stay open for the After-Party, with a dedicated cocktail bar and no pre-booking required. It’s the perfect way to round off the day, with our expert mixologists stirring up all the classics.
And if you’re planning ahead, make a weekend of it and save the date for our Fire Feast on Saturday the 27th of June, too. A Hambledon open-fire dining experience with Head Chef Rob, watch this space for full details being released soon!
