Bolney

Bolney Wine Estate, established in 1972 by Janet and Rodney Pratt, is a vineyard and visitor attraction in West Sussex, England. It produces award-winning still and sparkling wines, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Bolney Bubbly, and Blanc de Blancs. The estate covers 36 acres of vineyards and land, with an 18-acre visitor vineyard, winery, restaurant, café, and shop.

Bolney Wine Estate was founded in 1972 by Janet and Rodney Pratt, who purchased the land and began their vineyard journey under the original name Bookers Vineyard. In 1973, the first 1,000 vines were planted across three acres, making it the sixth commercial vineyard in England at that time. The estate expanded over the years, planting experimental vines in 1983, winning its first award in 1985, and building its first proper winery in 2005.
