One of the UK’s most celebrated wine estates, Black Chalk, has launched a new self-guided wine walk.

Set in the stunning Test Valley, near Wherwell, keen wine lovers will be able to collect their map and set out into the vineyard and surrounding countryside. 

A spokesperson for Black Chalk, Sally Bishop explained: "The tours will last approximately one hour and take in the Black Chalk vineyards and the river Test. On arrival to the tasting rooms, visitors will be able to collect a walking tour map showing routes of different lengths."

Sally added: "Dotted around the routes are QR code signposts, which when scanned on a mobile phone, provide audio commentary from the Black Chalk team, winemakers Jacob Leadley and Zoë Driver who have provided detailed insights into the viticultural side of winemaking." 

After the walk, visitors can enjoy a glass of the critically acclaimed Black Chalk Classic in the Tasting Room, which is included in the price. 

Black Chalk Vineyard launched in 2018 and is famous for its traditional sparkling wines in Hampshire and beyond.  The winery and tasting room was built four years ago and this is open throughout the week from 10am to 5pm between April and December.

The cost for Black Chalk’s Self-Guided Wine Walks is £12 per person and further information can be found here:  Wine Tours & Tastings in Hampshire 

The vineyard can be found at the Old Dairy, Fullerton Road, Andover, SP11 7JX.
