A new chapter is opening inside Leonardslee House. From 2 October, The Drawing Room will become the new home of Leonardslee Family Vineyards, bringing wine, gardens and hospitality together in one intimate setting.

The room has been reimagined as a place to slow down and discover more about the wines in your glass. Rather than treating a tasting as a quick stop, the new experiences are designed to connect the wine with the wider Leonardslee estate.

Tale of the Swallow is the perfect introduction. This one-hour tutored tasting features three Leonardslee English sparkling wines and shares the story behind the brand, the estate and its swallow. Priced at £45 per person from Thursday to Sunday, it also includes garden entry for the full day, giving you time to explore Leonardslee before or after your tasting.

For guests who want to discover more, From Gardens to Glass makes the estate itself part of the experience. This two-hour guided journey combines a walk through the gardens with samples of three Leonardslee wines. Priced at £65 per person, garden entry is also included, making it an easy way to build a memorable day around the experience.

The Drawing Room will also be available for private occasions. Private Dining offers an intimate setting in which to celebrate, entertain or simply gather around the table with people who share an appreciation for exceptional wine and food.

The idea behind The Drawing Room is deliberately simple: to bring the different parts of Leonardslee closer together.

The gardens provide the setting, Leonardslee Family Vineyards provides the wines, and the House provides the sense of occasion.

Whether you are visiting for your first English sparkling wine tasting, planning an autumn day out in West Sussex or looking for somewhere distinctive for a private celebration, The Drawing Room offers a new reason to step inside Leonardslee House.

The Drawing Room opens for public experiences from 2 October. Pre-booking is required for all scheduled wine experiences.
