Winery Overview
Simon Robinson, Hattingley’s founder, had always wanted to make something that was quintessentially British. When he heard a radio programme in 2000 on the rapidly developing English wine scene his Hattingley adventure began. With family encouragement, he decided to turn over 25 acres of chalky, south sloping fields to vineyards (2008) in pursuit of his dream. Hattingley has a 600 tonne, state-of-the-art, eco-friendly winery that was purpose built in 2010 under the guidance of Head Winemaker and Director, Emma Rice - the only woman in the UK to have won 'Winemaker of the Year' twice.
Hattingley Valley has quickly established itself as one of the UK’s most successful wineries, winning over 100 medals, 13 trophies, and three Best in Class for its English sparkling wines.
