Glass of Bubbly tent, Nyetimber and The Vine

Who could have predicted before 2003 that an English vineyard a mere five years old was about to beat the French at their own game? But that’s what happened when the sparkling wine from Nyetimber, on the South Downs, beat many Champagne labels in a famous international competition.

Since then, owner Eric Heerema and Canadian winemaker Cherie Spriggs have developed their vineyard and wines to take their place among Europe’s best respected.
Now you have an opportunity to enjoy Nyetimber’s finest products at The Vine public inn in Great Bardfield, Essex… by the glass or by the bottle!

Wine expert Tanya Mann has selected some of the vineyard’s finest products for you to try, including sensational vintage bottles that can be enjoyed by the glass, an educational experience for bubbly lovers exclusively to those visiting our first Glass of Bubbly tent over the bank holiday weekend of 28th – 31st of August. How about this for a selection of enjoyable English bubbly!
