Tidings of comfort and joy with a good glass of English Sparkling — that's the promise this Christmas at Hambledon. Wrap up warm, settle in, and let the season come to you.
From candlelit festive dining amongst the vines to sparkling wine gifts wrapped and ready for the people you love, there's a reason to visit all December long. Wander the Cellar Door Shop for gifts with a story, join a tour and tasting to see where the magic begins, or gather your team for a corporate celebration set among the vineyards. Come for a Christmas shopping weekend, get hands-on at a wreath-making workshop, or simply raise a glass and let the anticipation build with us.
However you choose to celebrate the festive period, we've saved you a seat.
