The light morning mists of late summer and early autumn, combined with the relatively cool microclimate which exists at the foot of the gently sloping North Downs Way, allows our grapes to develop wonderful aromas which are part of the unique personality and “terroir” of Godstone Wine.
The Deeley family first planted vines at Godstone in 1985 and enjoyed their first vintage in 1988.
The vineyard is set in fifty acres of glorious countryside and the vines are grown on a gentle south-facing slope with free-draining Upper Greensand soil. Three varieties of grapes are grown: Seyval Blanc, Dornfelder, and Bacchus, to produce White, Rosé and Sparkling Wine.
Godstone Wines are grown and vinified in the modern tradition, ensuring that they encapsulate the fresh floral bouquet and crisp acidic finish that you have come to appreciate in English wines. The wines should be enjoyed young, with lighter foods or simply as an aperitif. Click here for our current Wine List.

The easiest route by bus is from Caterham Railway Station. Take Metrobus Number 400 (information below) and ask the driver for the 'Quarry Road' request stop which is at the bottom of Godstone Hill. Our entrance is a five minute walk from this bus stop. For your return journey there is a bus stop on the other side of the road. Please take care when crossing due to the fast moving traffic.
