Surrey Wine Region

Home to Great Vineyards

Surrey, which is located in the southeastern part of England, is a home county and is bordered by Kent on its eastern side, West Sussex in its southern side, Hampshire in the western side, and Berkshire in its northwestern side.

With a population of around 1.1 million, this is found to be the third-densely populated country in the southeastern part of the country.

With 11 eleven districts, this region is found to be a wealthy region in the whole England. Among the many special features of this county, I would like to mention that Surrey is a home to great vineyards and it would be exciting for a wine lover to explore them.
