Join us for a festive evening of wine and wreath-making at our state-of-the-art, working winery. A perfect workshop to do with friends or family in the build up to Christmas. TICKETS – Stem & Green x The Grange

Every Wednesday afternoon in December (and the morning of Saturday 21st December), we will be swinging wide the winery doors to cater for all your festive wine needs.

After last year’s rip-roaring success, we are going again on the ‘Makers’ Sale of Work’. There will be a fabulous array of makers on show, each laden with beautiful things to sell. We will be welcoming our marvellous makers at The Grange Winery on Thursday 28th November between 9am-3pm. Entry is free and we will […]

A great article from Laura Hadland written for Vineyard Magazine where she caught up with our very own Harry Pickering.   For those approaching the subject for the first time, there can be a bewildering array to choose from. Materials might include stainless steel, concrete, oak, plastic or even clay. Each comes with its own […]

We get a lot of people on our tours saying “I can’t drink/hate rosé/PINK…” and this speaks to us of some terrible past trauma – over-fruity, ultra-sweet glasses of what looks and tastes like warm, fizzy and dilute Ribena, consumed in an airless tent on a boiling hot day – and, therefore, our hearts go […]

Join us at the vineyard to while away a few hours on a Thursday evening this summer. Every Thursday from now until mid/late September, we will be firing up the BBQ and opening the bar under the canopy at the winery from 5:30pm -8:30pm. Good vibes, wine, food, friends basking in the summer sunset!

We hope you are looking forward to a last (and possibly only?) hurrah of BBQ’s, picnics and chatting in scent-filled summer gardens and we’d love to be providing the refreshments! We’re both sorry and delighted to say that, thanks to some very strong demand from the trade, the CLASSIC NV has sold out (though you […]

Join us for a very special Slow Table. On Thursday 5th September, we’re teaming up with The Slow Cyclist at the winery to host a celebration of Syrian culture and cuisine. The wonderful Imad Alarnab of Imad’s Syrian Kitchen will be cooking up a fantastic feast to be accompanied by our award-winning wines. And there’s […]

I admired the orange geums and Zam took photographs of a multi-stemmed hazel for reference but the garden that really galvanised me at my first ever visit to the Chelsea Flower Show was in front of a beautiful greenhouse.  Bushy broad beans, thriving salads, neat leeks… I wandered up the path towards a welcoming sales […]
