About

A Family Vineyard

English Oak Vineyard began as a dream shared by a husband and wife who swapped their careers for viticulture, trained in the craft and transformed a former cattle farm into a thriving family-run estate. The first vines went into the ground in 2007 and the vineyard has been lovingly tended ever since.

The estate takes its name from a magnificent oak, thought to be around 300 years old, that stands at its heart. Each of its wines is named after a species of oak, a charming nod to the tree that started it all.

The Wines

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the classic Champagne grapes, flourish here and are crafted into elegant, traditional-method sparkling wines that have earned recognition from respected wine critics. The vineyard has also been celebrated as one of the most beautiful in Europe, so your photographs are in very good hands.

Ceremonies: the Oak Barn and linked outdoor areas are licensed
Reception capacity: up to 200 guests

Spaces & Planning

The Oak Barn

A traditional oak barn with a contemporary twist, this is where many couples choose to exchange their vows. Its warm timber beams and countryside outlook make for a ceremony that feels both elegant and intimate, and the licensed outdoor areas nearby offer a lovely alternative on a fine day.

Marquees & Teepees

For your wedding breakfast and evening party, you can choose between a classic marquee and the laid-back charm of a teepee. Marquees can even be specified with panoramic window walls, so your guests can gaze out across the vineyard as they dine. Open flames are permitted too, perfect for firepits and glowing lanterns as night falls.

Bespoke Planning

Rather than offering set packages, English Oak Vineyard works with the award-winning Bellissimo Weddings to design and cost each wedding individually following a visit to the estate. Support ranges from simple site hire, ideal if you love being hands-on, through to full planning with a team on site on the day. Their experts can help with everything from caterers, florists and lighting to entertainment, transport and accommodation.

Catering is flexible, with in-house and external caterers both welcome, and you are free to supply your own drinks without paying corkage. To start planning your vineyard wedding, simply send an enquiry using the email form on this page.
