Current Vacancies at Hattingley Valley

Hattingley Valley has been producing award-winning sparkling wine since 2010, planting its first vineyard in 2008. The heart of the wine comes from our 8.2 hectares of vineyards here in Hampshire where we carefully manage two distinct vineyard sites. Growing the classic sparkling varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, we also have small parcels of Bacchus and Pinot Gris. In addition to this we source grapes from across the UK for both our own production and on behalf of our contract winemaking clients. Hattingley Valley has won over 180 coveted industry awards since our first vintage in 2013.

The business has grown exponentially since its inception, and we are now one of the largest wineries in the UK, as well as being the most significant exporter of English wine to the rest of the world.
