About Birchden Vineyards
Birchden Vineyards is a family-run, 23-acre working farm just outside Groombridge in East Sussex, nestled in the stunning High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Only an hour from London, this little slice of heaven produces award-winning wines, honey, and apple juice, all crafted with a deep respect for nature and community.
Birchden Vineyards: Awards and Recognition
The vineyard has earned recognition at the Wine GB Awards, with their Charmed Finch Blanc de Noirs 2021 winning Silver, while The Ugly Duckling Chardonnay 2023 and The Gregarious Goose 2024 have both been awarded Bronze medals. These playful names reflect the farm's character – a place where Pinot Noir vines share space with beehives and free-range chickens.
From the moment visitors set foot on the farm, shoulders drop and time seems to slow. The Pinot Noir vineyard greets guests at the entrance, setting the scene for an experience that goes far beyond simple wine tasting. The family works with nature to produce mouth-watering wines that express the unique terroir of the High Weald.
