Spring Highlights 2025
DATE FOR YOUR DIARY!
Vineyards of the Surrey Hills is hosting our Summer Spectacular festival weekend on June 28 and June 29
A weekend of tours, tastings and more at your local vineyards.
Reopening on Saturdays from March 1, visit Albury Vineyard for its welcoming and friendly experience - whether you know a lot about wine, or nothing at all. Enjoy a glass of bubbly in their tasting room or on the patio, where they also serve delicious cheese and charcuterie boards. Children, muddy boots and well behaved dogs on leads welcome.
Kids will love Albury’s Easter themed trail with a chocolate treat at the end. The Easter trail will be running on April 18, 19 and 21, with the vineyard open from 11am to 4pm. The team recommend that you allow 45 minutes to enjoy the trail. Wellies or walking boots are a good idea - leave the stilettos at home! Well behaved dogs on leads welcome.
Enjoy a talk and tasting of Albury Estate sparkling wines with a member of the Albury team, followed by a glass of your choice accompanied by a selection of English cheese. Admire views from their tasting room over the vineyard or take a stroll amongst the vines before or after your tasting.
