Move over Margaux and Champagne. The corks are popping at the Tinwood Estate in Sussex, after it was appointed a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for wine, a first for the UK. The status is a guarantee of quality and geographical provenance.

Visit the Tinwood Estate and taste award winning wines
Owner Art Tukker said: “When we planted our vines here on the family farm 15 years ago, we never dreamt that we would be winning Gold medals in the world’s largest wine competitions, not just once but twice in the same month.

Daily vineyard tours and wine tasting start from £21 pp. For more, or to order some bottles online, visit the Tinwood Estate here.
