— Welcome
Wine with a sense of place.
The Cellar Door is the working heart of Leonardslee where the people who farm, ferment and finish our wines pour them for the people who drink them. Visit the wine estate at Mannings Heath for guided vineyard walks and tutored flights, or step into the Drawing Room at Leonardslee Gardens for a masterclass within the Grade I listed grounds.
Each experience is built around the same three estate sparklings Brut Reserve, Brut Rosé and Blanc de Blancs and extended with our Benguela Cove wines from Walker Bay. No script, no rush. Just the wine, the land it came from, and as much detail as you'd like.
—The Gardens
A masterclass in the Drawing Room.
Set within the historic Leonardslee Gardens and 240 acres of botanical
landscape, our afternoon wine tour brings together stunning views,
exceptional English wines and delicious local produce. A memorable day
out, from the vines through to the glass.
Leonardslee Wine Tour £65 per person, daily at 3pm.
Available Thursday to Sunday, for 2 to 16 guests.
Located within Leonardslee Gardens, Lower Beeding.

At Leonardslee Wine Estate in Mannings Heath, the tasting begins where

Vineyard Kitchen.
