Our much loved Safari Experience returns for the 2026 Season in an alternative format! The Safari Vineyard Tour & Tasting offers a chance to access parts of the Estate not available on our Public Tours. With just a maximum of 4 people per Safari, this is an unparalleled opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of Hambledon Wine Estate in the company of one of our knowledgeable and friendly guides. This is the perfect experience, whatever the weather.
Join us in our branded Land Rover Defender on a Safari around the vineyard. Your guide will take you through the vine’s growing season, explain the work that takes place at key stages of the year and talk about some of the challenges growing grapes in a cool climate brings. You will enjoy a sparkling aperitif overlooking the vines (weather permitting; in inclement weather the aperitif will take place inside), before returning to our Visitor's Centre for a guided tasting of three of our sparkling wines. The experience lasts about an hour, after which you may like to enjoy lunch in our Courtyard Restaurant. Whilst it is not possible to book the Courtyard, the early part of the week tends to be quiet and you are very likely to get a table. Or book a table in the restaurant (open Wednesday to Sunday).
Please note the maximum the Defender can seat is 4 people. Therefore if your booking is for less than 4 people you are likely to be sharing the Defender, in close proximity, with others. A certain level of agility is required to enter and exit the vehicle.
