Valentine’s Day at Leonardslee: A Romantic Escape in the Heart of Sussex
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down, reconnect and spend time somewhere truly beautiful. At Leonardslee, romance comes naturally, from peaceful garden walks and vineyard views to exceptional dining, fine wines and luxury accommodation.
Whether you are planning a day visit, a special afternoon treat or a full romantic weekend away, here is how to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable across the Leonardslee estate.
Sparkling Wine Tasting Experiences
Discover the story behind Leonardslee’s award-winning sparkling wines with a guided tasting experience, perfect for couples looking to add something special to their Valentine’s celebration.
Tastings are available in two beautiful settings: Leonardslee House, nestled within the gardens, and the Wine Lounge at Leonardslee Wine Estate. Each experience offers a relaxed opportunity to learn about the estate’s winemaking process while enjoying a tasting of our three sparkling wines together.
Stroll, Explore and Unwind at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens
Start your celebration with a peaceful wander through 240 acres of Grade I Listed gardens and lakes. February brings a quieter kind of beauty, with early seasonal colour, crisp woodland paths and mirror-still water creating a wonderfully romantic atmosphere.
Wrap up warm, explore hand in hand, and take time to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and historic landscapes that make Leonardslee so special. It is the perfect daytime companion to an evening of fine dining and wine.
