A little rewind of 2025… in photos ✨
January
We started the year by closing the vineyard to focus on improving our tasting room so we can welcome you all year round. With new windows and a wood burning stove.
And of course… pruning season began! Over 15,000 vines carefully pruned by hand by Andrew, Catherine & Juliet.
February
Our first winter tastings of the year began, and the vineyard work continued with pruning, nurturing the soil, and preparing for the season ahead.
March
The pruning finally came to an end and we moved on to mulching between the vine rows and bottling new wines.
April
The first signs of spring arrived. Tiny leaves started appearing, and we installed deer fencing to protect our newest vines; Pinot Noir Précoce.
May
We planted a new section of vines; Pinot Blanc, with S J Barnes Limited.
And our Col Fondo was featured and praised in Drinks Retailing 🍾
June
A month full of celebrations!
At the IEWA 2025 Awards, we won 2 medals 🏅
• Col Fondo , Gold
• Bacchus 23, Silver
We also hosted our first Wine Friends event with Winnica Jassafor our wine club members, we also welcomed you back for our pizza evenings (thank you Stu for the delicious pizza), and had the visit of Blake Stephenson MP during English Wine Week.
July & August
Summer tastings were in full swing ☀️
We also had an amazing opportunity to be providing our wines for Export 56. Then,we bottled sparkling wine by hand, with huge support from Will and Champagne Fire Truck 🥂
Then… harvest season arrived early, with our first pick starting 25th August, a massive thank you to everyone who helped us with the harvest !
September & October
Harvest continued, followed by fermentation and the start of our next vintage journey.
And by Halloween, we were back with our cosy Winter Tasting Experience.
November
Another brilliant Wine Friends event with Mallard Point, later that month Andrew & Catherine attended the first IEWA tasting event in Bristol, showcasing Hungerhill Vineyard wine alongside award-winning independent English vineyards.
We also disgorged and released our first Classic Cuvée Traditional Method, a truly special moment to close the year.
Thank you for being part of our 2025
Whether you visited, supported, joined our wine club, or simply followed along… we’re so grateful.
