Black Chalk Winery in Hampshire is where modern winemaking meets countryside charm. Nestled along the chalky slopes of the Test Valley, this boutique winery specializes in producing top-tier English sparkling wines with a refreshing, contemporary twist. Founded by Jacob Leadley, an award-winning winemaker, Black Chalk embraces a hands-on approach, focusing on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier – the classic Champagne varieties.
What makes Black Chalk stand out isn’t just its premium bubbles but also the inviting, down-to-earth vibe that encourages visitors to truly immerse themselves in the world of winemaking. Whether you’re sipping on their signature “Classic” or indulging in the “Wild Rose,” you’ll find that each bottle tells a story of patience, craft, and a playful love for experimentation.
The winery offers a range of immersive experiences, from guided tours of their lush vineyards to intimate tastings in their cozy, countryside winery. For those who want to take the experience further, they also run seasonal harvest events where you can roll up your sleeves and get involved in picking grapes, adding a hands-on, personal touch to your visit.
Looking for a quirky getaway? Black Chalk even offers stylish, off-grid accommodation at their nearby vineyard glamping site, allowing you to sip, stay, and stargaze under the wide Hampshire sky.
