Located on the southern slopes of the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Albury Vineyard is a truly unique location for your Christmas event, whether you’re after an intimate meal with family and friends, or a seasonal corporate drinks reception. Owner Nick Wenman is committed to providing exceptional wine at no cost to the environment, growing his award-winning wine in accordance with organic and biodynamic principles without the use of pesticides and fungicides. The vines are a traditional Champagne varietal, and the vineyard focuses primarily on producing superb sparkling wines, alongside several still wines.
For a casual Christmas event, the Tasting Room is the perfect spot for you and your guests to relax in a minimalist setting, while gazing out at the surrounding frosty fields, and enjoying first-class food and wine. For events with a larger guest list, the Visitors Barn can accommodate up to 50 standing guests, perfect for a drink's reception. Both spaces offer access to the vineyard patio should you like to incorporate an alfresco element.
There are several exciting activities that can be added to your event to make it an unforgettable experience, such as Christmas willow weaving and wreath-making workshops, as well as a sparkling wine tasting.
For your festive event, Albury can provide sharing boards that showcase local cheeses and meats, and come with bread, olives and chutney. Alternatively, for something more substantial, Albury boasts longstanding relationships with several local caterers that specialise in a variety of cuisines and dining styles, and can provide anything from authentic Indian curries to traditional festive meals. Wine from the vineyard and cocktails can be pre-ordered to help the evening flow smoothly, or opt for a pop-up wine bar instead. Why not choose to add a private wine tasting with a member of the Albury team, and treat you and your guests to a taste of some of the nation's best homegrown wine?
