Hampshire Vineyard + Winery

Beautifully crafted wines, rooted in reality

The Black Chalk Estate is set in the stunning Test Valley — a perfect place to visit and taste our sparkling and still wines, made right here in our on-site winery. Our wines may be beautifully crafted, but our ethos stays down-to-earth: growing and making wine in England is a challenging adventure.

What we're about

Making wine in England is as challenging as it is exciting, and we want to show what that looks like in real terms — the good, the bad, and everything in between. At its heart, Black Chalk has always been a winemaker-led project driven by our passionate team. We're all Black Chalk winemakers at heart.

That is what we want to celebrate.”
