Black Chalk Winery: A Rising Star in Hampshire

Located in the picturesque Hattingley Valley, Black Chalk Winery is making waves in the English wine scene. Founded by Jacob Leadley, an accomplished winemaker, the winery specializes in crafting vibrant and pure sparkling wines from handpicked local grapes. The idea for Black Chalk was born during a family dinner in 2009, when Jacob decided to pursue his passion for winemaking, leading to the creation of small-batch sparkling wines that showcase the best of English viticulture.

A Visionary Winery in the Heart of Test Valley

At Black Chalk, artistry meets winemaking. The team collaborates with various artists to conceptualize their wines, treating each bottle as a unique masterpiece. The winery is currently developing a state-of-the-art facility in the stunning Test Valley, with over one million British pounds invested in modern technology and equipment. In addition to the winery, Black Chalk manages 30 hectares of vineyards in prime locations, ensuring the highest quality grapes for their wines.

Signature Grape Varieties

Black Chalk Winery primarily cultivates Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Precoce. These carefully selected grape varieties are handpicked to create their award-winning sparkling wines. The winery also features an elegant tasting room, where guests can savor the exquisite flavors of their wines while learning about the winemaking process.

Had a vineyard tour and lunch with the family for my husband’s birthday last Sunday. The tour was very informative and the food and wine were excellent. The staff were very friendly and accommodating allowing us to have birthday cake that we had brought along-would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour and learnt loads. Nicely paced and the winery is 'boutique' so it's possible to see the different elements of production concisely. Even in January, there was a lot to learn about the vines, and what processes would follow later in the year, and the lunch/sampling was a delight.

We really enjoyed our tour, tasting and lunch at Black Chalk vineyard today. It was fascinating to learn more about the process of winemaking and to see where it all happens. Lunch was a generous size and, of course, the wine was delicious.

What a venue! We held our wedding reception at Black Chalk Wine in the summer of this year. The staff were absolutely incredible, ensuring we had the very best day, with such attention to detail. Communication was brilliant from the moment we sent an enquiry and the team were really accommodating with all the personal touches we wanted to make. We feel so lucky to have held our reception at Black Chalk, the setting was just beautiful. Thank you so much to the incredible team. We can't wait to celebrate our anniversaries back with you and relive such an incredible day!

Excellent experience. Easy to navigate web page. Booked a tour for four 🇩🇰 and a following lunch. The guide took us up the wine fields and gave an interesting introduction to how to make sparkling wine the traditional way. Covered all the different parts of the production. After the tour we enjoyed a tasting of the products - enjoyed that thoroughly - and then we had a feast of a lunch with local trout paté, cold smoked river test trout and 4 different local cheeses - a real delicious experience. Worth every penny.
