About Chapel Down

Chapel Down is England’s largest and most influential winery, headquartered near Tenterden in Kent—a region often dubbed the “Garden of England.” Renowned for pioneering high-quality Traditional Method sparkling wines, the estate draws from chalky soils and a cool maritime climate akin to Champagne terroir to craft vibrant, elegant expressions.

With over 950 acres under vine—including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus, and experimental varieties—Chapel Down spans sparkling, still, and experimental wines. Under visionary leadership, the estate has redefined English wine, producing both accessible and prestige cuvées, and firmly positioning England on the world wine map.
