Nyetimber
Sussex, UK
- #93 World's Best Vineyards 2024
You might spy Nyetimber’s iconic 1968 Routemaster bus parked up at its Southern England home when it’s not touring the country. The estate dates back to 1086, when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and is centred around a fifteenth-century barn carefully restored and now used for private tastings and special events. Be sure to nab a ticket to one of the chef-paired dinners that run throughout the year, or to a summer open day – this two-hour tour and tasting experiences explain Nyetimber’s history and the sustainable farming methods employed across its extensive holdings before exhibiting wines made from some of the oldest vines in the country (first planted in 1988).
