We’re looking forward to welcoming wine lovers from near and far to meet our vineyard teams and taste our beautiful wines in the stunning Hampshire countryside setting at Black Chalk. And this year, we’ll be introducing our newest member, Louis Pommery England, to our beautiful county’s favourite wine and food festival.”
