Ashling Park Estate

A Sussex vineyard estate near Chichester

Ashling Park Estate is a wine estate in West Ashling, Chichester, in the Sussex countryside. Its own presentation places it about 90 minutes from London and describes the property as a wine retreat combining vineyards, dining, lodge accommodation, gin-making and cocktail masterclasses, and a range of wines it presents as award-winning.

The estate operates as a destination in its own right: visitors can tour and taste, eat at the café or restaurant, buy wine and spirits in the shop, take part in a gin-making course and stay overnight in its lodges.

Wines, spirits and shopping

The site is organised around a shop that covers wines, spirits, gifts and vouchers, including a voucher for the gin-making experience. The wine shop is presented as a distinct outlet within the estate, separate from the dining and accommodation activity.

Visits, tastings and experiences

Among the bookable activities listed are tour and tasting, cocktail making, dining, lodge stays and the gin-making course. The estate also publishes a 360° virtual tour, which allows the property to be viewed remotely before a visit.

Dining at the estate

Two food venues are identified. The Vineyard Café serves through the day, while The Vineyard Restaurant operates a lunch and evening service on selected days, with a Sunday lunch service. Menus and dishes are not detailed in the material available.

Lodges and overnight stays

Accommodation is offered in lodges on the estate, presented as part of a stay-and-unwind proposition alongside the vineyard, restaurant and experiences. The material does not specify the number of lodges or their individual features.

Events and private celebrations

The estate lists events under a dedicated section, including birthday parties, Christmas events, corporate functions, weddings and celebrations of life. A what's-on section and a blog accompany these listings.
