Behind the Vines: Our Winner’s Exclusive Tour at Henners
This past weekend , we had the pleasure of treating our competition winner, Mark, and his guest to a memorable day at the beautiful Henners Sussex Winery. Nestled in the rolling coastal hills of Herstmonceux, Henners offers a truly unique vineyard experience, where sustainability meets craftsmanship.
A Walk Among the Vines
Their day began with a guided tour of the vineyard, where they learned about the intricate methods behind Henners' sustainable vine-growing practices. The temperate coastal climate, combined with careful cultivation, allows Henners to produce some of the most refined wines in the region.
The Winery Tour: Behind the Bottle
The tour continued into the newly refurbished winery, offering a deeper understanding of the winemaking process. From hand-harvesting to fermentation, every step is carefully overseen to ensure the highest quality. The blend of traditional techniques and modern innovations gives Henners its distinctive character.
A Tasting to Remember
No visit to Henners would be complete without a tasting, and the Cellar Door tasting room was the perfect setting for Mark and his guest to sample the full range of Henners wines. From crisp sparkling varieties to elegant still wines, each glass showcased the winery's dedication to excellence. The tasting was accompanied by a beautifully curated cheese and charcuterie board, featuring locally sourced, artisan products.
