This summer, The Vineyard Hotel & Spa, Berkshire's luxury five-star hotel, invites guests to a week-long celebration of sustainable English winemaking during English Wine Week from the 21st unti lthe 29th of June 2025. There will be the opportunity to discover exceptional English wines and complimentary dining.
The hotel, which is a Michelin Guide One Key holder and proud member of Relais & Châteaux and PoB Hotels has curated this experience through its longstanding relationship with outstanding English wine producers. Featured partners include Berkshire's Demeter-certified biodynamic Winding Wood, the All Angels Vineyard, where vines are nurtured on a fertile terroir beside a 12th-century church using low-impact viticulture, and Simpsons Wine Estate in North Kent, where grapes thrive in lime-rich chalk soil through responsible land stewardship. Also included is Edge Herb Farm, a leader in regenerative agriculture with a focus on sustainable herb cultivation.
"English Wine Week gives us the perfect opportunity to spotlight the incredible quality and diversity of wines being produced on our doorstep," comments Romain Bourger, director of Wine and Beverage at The Vineyard Hotel & Spa. "By bringing together local producers, sustainable practices, and seasonal ingredients, we're creating an authentic celebration of British terroir that honours tradition and innovation."
The festival will headline two events that showcase the importance of biodiversity in English produce across gastronomy and viticulture:
*Meet the Pros with Simpsons Wine Estate and Edge Herb Farm on Wednesday 25th June: A four-course dinner highlighting seasonal ingredients and herbs paired with exceptional wines from Simpsons Wine Estate, hosted by Henry Rymill from Simpsons and Rachel Fee from Edge Herb Farm.
*All Angels Wine Bash on Sunday 29th June: A social celebration of food and wine with small plates paired with All Angels' award-winning sparkling wines, hosted by All Angels founder Mark Darley. Set to be hosted in the front garden, (weather dependent) with live music and a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
Elevating the English Wine Week experience, The Vineyard Hotel & Spa presents an engaging social media competition. Guests are encouraged to capture and share their most memorable moments on Instagram using #VYEnglishWineWeek for the opportunity to win a luxurious Taste of Spa experience for two. This initiative aims to create a vibrant, interactive celebration across the 8 days. The competition will run throughout English Wine Week, with the winner able to redeem their prize between July and November 2025.
