This looks to be a very classy operation, aided of course by its rather ideal situation on the Isle of Purbeck and within easy reach of Studland, Swanage and the Dorset coast.

The Purbeck Vineyard was established in the year 2000. The Vineyard planting programme nears completion with some 3,000 vines, the grape culture includes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and lesser known but increasingly successful English grapes such as Regent, Rondo and Phoenix. Our on site winery enables us to harvest the wine grapes, press and vinify them into wine that truly is Chateau bottled.

In addition to the vineyard there is also a smart 4-star boutique hotel and restaurant.
