Summer Celebration in the Vines

Wiston Estate Winery

Since 1743, the Goring family has cared for these chalky slopes, always recognising the land as something to be shared. This weekend is a chance to come together, to enjoy good food, Wiston wines, and times spent in good company. To celebrate, we are hosting a special weekend of festivities right where it all began. It is a celebration of the vineyard, the people who have shaped it, the wine that comes from it and those who continue to gather here. Each day has been designed as its own experience and is ticketed separately, so you are free to join us for Friday or Saturday or both. Please note this event is for over 18s only – please do read our FAQ’s fully before booking. Spend a full day in the vineyard enjoying great food, Wiston Wines, live music, and a relaxed summer atmosphere among the vines. Enjoy performances throughout the day from Wellington Wailers, Tom Abercrombie, Sistie Moose and Dave Clifton, with evening sets from Ali T and Amber Durrant as the sun sets over the vines, creating the perfect soundtrack as you unwind in the vineyard. A selection of carefully chosen food vendors will be on hand throughout the day, including our friends at Safari Pizza Company, The Nordic Smokery, Chunka Munka and Miall’s, serving everything from wood-fired pizzas and fire-cooked salmon to sweet treats throughout the day. Alongside Wiston Sparkling Wine, there will also be a fully stocked bar serving beer, wine and other refreshments throughout the event. Guests can also enjoy a touch of magic from a Magic Circle magician performing during the day, adding to the relaxed and sociable atmosphere. As the sun sets, the music will carry on into the evening, keeping the atmosphere lively yet laid-back. Expect a sociable, easy-going experience in a beautiful setting as we make the most of the long summer evening. Arrival is from midday, with the event running until 11pm. Tickets are £45 per person and include entry to the event and a glass of Wiston Sparkling Wine on arrival. Enjoy a relaxed marquee cinema experience set among the vines at sunset. On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of Wiston Sparkling Wine and fresh popcorn before settling in for a screening of A Good Year —Ridley Scott’s much-loved 2006 film set in a Provençal vineyard starring Russell Crowe. Released in 2006, the very same year our first vines were planted, it feels a particularly fitting choice for an evening surrounded by the vineyard that started it all. Wood-fired pizza will be available to purchase throughout the evening from our friends at Safari Pizza , perfect to enjoy as the sun sets and the film begins. Arrival is from 6:30pm, with the movie starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are £15 per person and include entry to the event, a glass of Wiston Sparkling Wine on arrival, and fresh popcorn.
