Welcome to Pewley Down Vineyard
Located in an urban setting with just one acre of vines we are one of the smallest vineyards in England. Based in the historic town of Guildford, Surrey adjacent to the protected nature area of Pewley Down Meadows.
Pewley Down Vineyard sits on a south facing chalk slope in a valley on the southern edge of Guildford within walking distance of the town. We are the only working vineyard in central Guildford with a GU1 postcode.
We produce award winning ‘single estate’ sparkling and still wines from our own grapes. We have been growing grapes since 2007 learning our craft and the fascinating complexities of wine making as our skills developed. We started to produce wines to sell in 2013. For our wines we grow four distinct varieties of grapes that are suited to our climate, water table and our specific soil structure. .
These are:
Bacchus
Schonburger
Rondo
Pinot Noir Early.

Our 2022 vintage, crafted using traditional methods is now available for purchase online.
Plus our 2024 harvest still rose has just been released.
Both are available online with free local deliveries. Please also check our local stockists. Discounts are available for cases of 6 or more.

Cool climate vineyard
Pewley Down Vineyard sits on a south facing chalk slope in a small valley on the southern edge of Guildford within walking distance of the town.
The vineyard was planted in 2006 with classic cool climate varieties of vines producing both red and white grapes. The flints and chalk also provide minerals giving the grapes additional beneficial qualities which flow through into the wines.
After 20 years in spring 2026 the tired old vines have mostly been removed together with the rotten trellis posts with a view to replanting next winter and spring.
Award winning wines
Crafted out of the English countryside and ripened by the sun, the handpicked grapes from our harvests are carefully transported to professional contract wineries where the teams make our luscious sparkling rosé wines and still rosé wines.
A passion for nature
The vineyard benefits from uninterrupted exposure to sunshine enhanced by the gentle south facing slope. Wildlife is abundant with wild bees, wasps, butterflies, deer, foxes, badgers, squirrels and many different birds all visiting regularly.
Biodiversity Project
Our “biodiversity” project is taking shape in the two fields on the opposite north facing slope in our valley. The fields were acquired in 2020 and are classed as “unimproved chalk grassland” having never been ploughed, sown or fertilized.
The fields are being managed to encourage biodiversity by allowing the naturally occurring flora and fauna to prosper alongside gentle management of hedges and invasive scrub.

are our passions”
