THE EXPERIENCE

Taking place across one Friday and Saturday in October, this limited-edition dining experience offers a rare opportunity to discover Nyetimber’s prestige cuvées and celebrated English Sparkling Wines through an evening of exceptional food, wine and storytelling.

Guests will then be welcomed into our historic Medieval Barn for a meticulously curated four-course dinner, showcasing the finest seasonal, locally sourced and estate-grown ingredients. Each course has been thoughtfully designed to complement a different Nyetimber wine, culminating in the pinnacle of our winemaking: 1086 by Nyetimber.

Throughout the evening, our Brand Ambassador will share stories of Nyetimber’s heritage, craftsmanship and approach to English Sparkling Wine, alongside an exclusive insight into the 2026 Harvest. Discover the story of this year’s growing season across our 11 vineyard sites, from the challenges and successes in the vineyards to the decisions that will shape the wines of the future.

For the first time at the Nyetimber Estate, guests will also have the opportunity to taste Blanc de Blancs 2018 - a hugely celebrated vintage. This exceptional wine offers a unique opportunity to explore what makes an extraordinary growing season and how these conditions translate into wines of remarkable character, complexity and longevity.

The menu, created by Nyetimber Executive Chef Steven Edwards alongside Head Chef Joe Pinard, will celebrate the very best of the season, with each dish expertly paired to showcase the distinctive character of the wines.

To conclude the evening, guests will have the opportunity to purchase a selection of Nyetimber wines at exclusive cellar-door pricing - a special way to take a taste of The Estate home and commemorate an unforgettable evening.
