Gusbourne
"Our vision is simple. We strive to create the finest wines in the world."
Gusbourne is the only three-time winner of the IWSC English Wine Producer of the Year and its wines win prestigious national and international industry awards every year.
Gusbourne is one of a few prestige English cuveés to grow all its own grapes; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. They yield smaller volumes of intensely flavoured fruit.
Gusbourne is served in some of the very best restaurants in the world and has the unique honour of being chosen as the Royal Collection Trust's English sparkling wine for the Coronation of King Charles III in 2023.
Happiness
is a place
Sitting behind grass fringed sand dunes that overlook the largest pristine sandy beach close to London, The Gallivant is the epitome of off grid, laid back luxury.
We are huge supporters of the English wine scene, with the largest English wine list in England.
Half of all the wine we sell is grown within 70 miles of us. As a result we also have the most sustainable wine list in the country.
Privately owned, we are proud to be a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World representing 500 of the very best independent luxury hotels around the world.
