Thirty years after the White family blazed a trail with the first vineyard plantings on the Surrey Hills, Denbies Wine Estate is introducing a brand new feature style film to its guided tours experience that welcomes over 350,000 people each year.
Commissioned to celebrate the anniversary of the first plantings on the estate, 'The Vineyard through the seasons' offers visitors a unique insight into the workings of an English vineyard.
Over a year in the making, this feature-style film follows life on the 265-acre estate from bud-burst to harvest.
Denbies pioneered wine tourism in the UK and has worked tirelessly over the last three decades to raise awareness of the incredible potential of wines 'made in England'.
It continues to invest in new facilities to share its work and passion with the 350,000 visitors that come to the estate every year.
Today it is the largest single estate wine producer in England producing a range of 14 wines, including the biggest and second biggest-selling English wines: Surrey Gold and Flint Valley.
In managing its 635 acre estate Denbies works with national and conservation bodies to promote local wildlife, trees and plants.As a result there has been a marked increase in birds, including partridge, wagtails and woodpecker, on the estate.
The plantings also support Denbies' work with Surrey Wildlife Trust to reintroduce beekeeping on site.In 2016, Denbies has become the first vineyard member of the Bat Conservation Trust.
