The Chapel Down Wine and Fine Food Store

The Chapel Down Wine and Fine Food Store is the result of an ambitious refurbishment project which took place in spring 2005. The vision of the project was to create a landmark site worthy of England’s leading premium wine producer. The magnificent building is clad in oak and finished in galvanised steel to replicate the materials used in the making of wine.

The store sells our full range of Chapel Down wines and has a dedicated tasting area for groups or individual tastings where our visitors are welcome to taste a selection of our wines and Curious Brew beers with a member of our shop team.

As well as wines, the store sells a wide range of high quality, English produce from carefully selected suppliers, including over 30 British cheeses, biscuits, teas, hand-made chocolates, cakes, ice cream smoked meat and fish, chutneys, chilled and frozen food and much more including a fine selection of locally produced beers and cider.

It is very important to us that all our products are sourced locally wherever possible and that all our fresh produce is only stocked when in season to offer our customers the very best flavours England can offer at the right time of year.

From the Wine and Fine Food Store visitors can collect a vineyard map which will guide them on walking trails around the 22 acres of vineyards. There is also a children’s picture trail for our younger visitors.

Information on guided tours, gift experiences and vine leasing can also be found in store.

Above the Wine and Fine Food Store is our fantastic new restaurant ‘Richard Phillips at Chapel Down’ launched in July 2008 with a south-facing sun terrace overlooking the beautiful vineyards and herb garden.
