Wines and Beers of Hampshire

Understanding the Wines and Beers of Hampshire

Hampshire, which is located on the southern coast of England, is the most populous county in the country.

With an overall area of 3,700 square kilometres, this is found to be the home to several tourist attractions.

There are many seaside resorts and a couple of national parks. So, a trip to Hampshire will be a great treat to the eyes.

To add an extra essence to this, the wines and beer tours also can be included in your plan. Now, let’s see what Hampshire has got for the wine and beer lovers out there…

Wine Tasting in Hampshire

I’d say the right route to find out the wine that is appropriate for you is to taste it. As such, Hampshire and Surrey have some great vineyards with the facility to book tours and taste their wines.

Several of them are offering free tastings and hence, once you are in Hampshire, don’t miss the golden chance to taste some great wines.

Personally, I found the Hampshire Wine School is the great place to start off.

Hampshire Wine School

This is an independent wine education company and is not affiliated to any of the wine merchants there.

As such, they are organizing tastings of the following products:

  • Wine
  • Champagne
  • Beer
  • Port
  • Gin
  • Tonic
  • Whisky

So, this would happen to be a one-stop destination to taste all the products in a single go.

In addition to the tasting events, they are also organizing some workshops and courses for people who would like to learn about the wines.

Thus, the Hampshire Wine School would make you a better wine shopper by eliminating the guesswork in buying wines.

Once you are here, you will get the opportunity to learn about various grape varieties, wine producing nations, tips to taste wine, and even the tips on wine pairing. However, remember that they don’t sell any wine or beer.

Coates & Seely

This is the winery that is located just eighty miles north of the world-famous chalk hills Champagne. As such, the vineyard is enjoying soils and climate identical to the Champagne region.

Established in the year 2006, this vineyard is found to be planted with the varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier. I would say this is the perfect place to taste some great sparkling wines of England.

Breweries of Hampshire

Again, Hampshire and Surrey are found to have some outstanding and passionate breweries that are operating independently. These are known to produce some crafting and classic beers.

A few of these breweries are found to be offering guided tours to the visitors thereby, providing the tourists the chance to discover some of the brewing secrets.

Once you are inside the brewery, you will be able to touch and taste the malted barley, breathe in the aroma of hops, and taste the fine produce.

Here, let’s see a couple of breweries…

Andwell Brewing Company

  • Resolute bitter
  • Gold Muddler
  • King John

As such, they are specialized in producing:
