— Welcome
A year in the life of the estate.
Leonardslee Family Vineyards is more than a place to taste wine it is a working estate that opens its doors throughout the year. Spring brings the gardens into bloom and the vines into bud, summer fills the terraces with long lunches and golden-hour tastings, autumn calls everyone to the harvest, and winter transforms the Grade I listed gardens into the spellbinding Leonardslee Lights trail.
Whatever the season, the calendar below brings together everything taking place across the wine estate at Mannings Heath and the historic Leonardslee Gardens so you can plan a single afternoon or a whole weekend away.
— Spring & Summer
Bloom, bud and long lunches.
As the gardens awaken, the season fills with daytime tastings, vineyard tours and relaxed dining at the Vineyard Kitchen. Warm evenings bring golden-hour flights out among the vines.
