Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery

Foodies love to know the provenance of what they eat and drink, and many enjoy meeting the makers. Local produce is preferred and it’s what makes Farmers Markets so popular each week. Yet there are some products we simply don’t expect to be made in England.

If I told you there are vineyards and an award-winning winery close to London you are likely to be surprised. But I can confirm it’s true as I’ve been to The Chiltern Valley Winery & Brewery and can tell you what a hidden gem it is.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery

The Chilterns are close to west London and The Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery is only about 40 miles away. Although it’s not far the landscape is a huge contrast to the city. The winery is in an official ‘area of outstanding beauty’ overlooking the alluring Hambleden Valley near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.

It’s a peaceful location that’s so tranquil you may want to stay. And that’s OK because there’s a Farmhouse B&B here too so you can.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery entrance

About The Chiltern Valley Winery & Brewery

The Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery has vineyards and produce and bottle wines, real ales and liqueurs here too. There’s a popular Cellar Shop plus tours and tastings on most days. There’s also the B&B, an events barn and a cookery school. And it all happens in long-established farm buildings.

Traditional production methods are used for all the wines, ales and liqueurs. This has reaped rewards as they have received over 70 national and international awards. Its microbrewery was the first in the UK to hold a Royal Warrant as they supply Buckingham Palace.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Royal Warrant

This was the first part of the business and was established in 1980 when David Ealand purchased the Old Luxters Farm. It had been a pig farm but it was initially bought as a family home.

After surveying the land, Mr Ealand was informed that the soil was ideal for growing grapes or rhubarb. And when it was discovered that grapes do not actually need hot weather to grow well (this is still England!) the first vineyard was planted in 1982.

Two years later they got the first harvest and now produce an increasing range of fine wines with an enviable reputation. They use the latest wine making techniques and equipment to combine a respect for tradition with minimum interference to the natural processes.

The business is now run by David Ealand and his son Donald Ealand, and the 4 acre site is now 2.5 acres under vine.

Chiltern Vallery Winery and Brewery - winery

As Mr Ealand’s knowledge grew he was able to help establish many more vineyards in the area. And, as they have production and bottling on site, the winery now produces wines for other vineyard owners. Growing the grapes is one thing but you need a good winery to convert grapes into palatable, bottled wine.

Old Luxters Brewery

Established in 1990, this independent mircrobrewery was the first in the UK to hold a Royal Warrant.

They started brewing in 1991 and have revived the tradition of farm-brewed, full mash, real ales using wooden-clad mash tun, copper, liquor and fermentation vessels. Yet while all that sounds very traditional they also have the latest technology in sterility and temperature control.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery - brewery

The ales made at Chiltern Valley are ‘bottle conditioned’. This means that the beer goes through the fermentation process while it’s in the bottle, giving it a natural carbonation.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery - ale vat

The Queen’s Royal Warrant was granted in 2007. It’s said The Duke of Edinburgh is partial to their strong bodied Barn Ale .

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Cellar Shop

Tours and Tasting

So with all this talk about what they produce, and the traditional methods, you must be thinking ‘How can I see (and taste) this all for myself?’ The good news is they have been running regular tours and tastings here for over 25 years.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery

The behind-the-scenes tours take around two hours and end in the Tasting Room. During the 30-40 minute tasting you get to try four wines, four ales and four liqueurs. You may well not want to drive home afterwards so book a taxi back to Henley or (and this would be my preferred choice) book a room at the Farmhouse B&B.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Tasting Room

Liqueur production was added for the millennium. On the tour you’ll see the production facilities for the winery, brewery and liqueurs.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Cellar Shop - liqueurs

You’ll see the grape pressing machinery used during the harvest and, depending on the day you visit, may see the clever bottling, labeling and capsulation machinery working that is used for the full range.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery - grape pressing machine

The Cellar Shop

Open seven days a week, the Cellar Shop stocks all of wines, ales and liqueurs plus locally made preserves, chutneys and honey and more specialist food produce. The Cellar Shop has connections with many local companies including a local charcuterie that supplies ‘Venison with Old Luxters Sloe Gin’ and ‘Beef with Chiltern Valley Pinot Noir’.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Cellar Shop

Old Luxters Barn

This space is popular for weddings and private events. It’s an 18th century converted barn that was where the pigs lived when the Ealand family bought the farm.

Cookery School

This is the newest addition at Old Luxters and, quite rightly, gives you a fresh insight into how wine, real ale and or liqueurs can transform the taste of food – either as part of the recipe or when enjoyed by the glass to accompany a meal.

The classes take place in the Farmhouse and you get to select some of the ingredients to be used from the Farmhouse kitchen.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery Farmhouse B&B

Farmhouse B&B

I’ve mentioned the B&B a few times and that’s because I stayed there so know what a great place it is.

Set in the Chiltern hills, Old Luxters Farmhouse is a traditional brick and flint house with picturesque views over the garden, vineyard, and Hambleden Valley beyond.

The Farmhouse has only four bedrooms with an extra in the Pool House Suite which is a private area with sole use of the pool, sauna and hot tub.

Even though I travel so often I rarely sleep well away from home, so I was pleased to wake so refreshed from my night in the Garden Room. I had arrived quite late in the day so hadn’t seen the view until the morning. When I opened the curtains there was the vineyard and valley before me. A wild pheasant was walking in the garden and, when I opened the window, the birdsong was incredible.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery B&B - Garden Room view

Breakfast is included in the price and my 10 year old managed to eat a full cooked Farmhouse English breakfast as it was too good to leave anything on the plate.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery B&B - cooked breakfast

The B&B can provide lunch and dinner, and the courtyard tables are popular for tapas and wines in the summer months.

Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery courtyard

Hambleden Valley

This is an idyllic area to explore with stunning countryside and quintessential English village pubs.

It has provided the location for numerous period film and TV productions including Midsomer Murders , Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , 101 Dalmatians and Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow .

Hambleden/Fingest Valley

If you want to dine nearby, The Stag & Huntsman  in Hambleden village has Chiltern Valley wines and ales, as does The Frog at Skirmett . There’s also The Chequers Inn in Fingest and The Bull & Butcher in Turville. All are a short drive or taxi ride from Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery, and all have a good reputation for decent dining.

To get there from London by public transport, you need to get a train from Paddington to Henley-on-Thames (via Twyford) and it’s then a 10 minute taxi ride (Henley Taxis: 01491 57 42 22).

I combined a visit here with afternoon tea at Danesfield House (a short taxi ride away).

Where to eat and drink in dubrovnik, according to a local tour guide.

  • Share to Facebook
  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

Old Town, Dubrovnik.

I first met Ivan Vuković , arguably the best tour guide in Dubrovnik, in the summer of 2022. It was peak summer so I was battling the tourist crowds vulturing around Old Town in peak heat, with a stomach bug in tow, and yet I managed to piece myself together for Ivan’s tour—which ended early at a pharmacy for me (unfortunately). From April through November, Ivan leads over 400 tours, meeting upwards of 2,000 tourists from around the world.

I returned in summer 2023 to redo my tour and give bustling Dubrovnik another chance. Ivan promised me I could find peace amidst the chaos, even when a cruise ship means the city is extra stuffed.

Rule No. 1, he notes, to avoid tourist traps: “If somebody is offering you a menu on the street you just do not go there,” he says. “When you see people rolling their eyes when you enter a restaurant or bar around 4 p.m. you stay there as this means it’s a local place.”

Vege Dub in Old Town, Dubrovnik.

Tourists often miss out on the street food, and there are lots of affordable eats, like Burger Tiger and Vege Dub (vegetarian and vegan street food—and don’t forget the smoothies)—two of Vuković’s favorite stops when seeking something fast and casual.

Here are a few places to bookmark for your next trip to Dubrovnik, via a local’s perspective, that will have you eating and drinking well—even if you’re only day-tripping.

Samsung Releases New Feature Boost To Millions Of Galaxy Phones

Trump again targets judge s daughter in new york criminal case, apple iphone 16 pro new leak reveals updated colors coming this fall, beach bar dodo.

Between the fortresses of Lovrijenac and Bokar, on Kolorina beach (which means “calm harbor”) is family-run Beach Bar Dodo—and one of the most authentic places in the city. “I like Dodo for snacks and a cold draft of local beer before swimming or directly after work,” says Vuković. It’s on the side of Sulic beach, perched atop a stone cliff overlooking the crystal-clear sea, so you can take a dip after lunch. If it’s super hot out be sure to ask for gemišt, a Croatian libation made with white wine and sparkling mineral water, poured over ice.

Cocktails at Café Festival in Old Town, Dubrovnik.

Café Festival

Catch the early morning sun and the best views in Old Town at Café Festival, located in the center of Stradun. “I drink my morning coffee and people watch,” says Vuković—a ritual before his first tour of the day. The café is open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily and in the evening there’s live piano music. I’ve spent many mornings caffeinating and writing; it’s a special spot amidst the chaos that never gets old.

Dubrovnik Eat with Locals

This immersive dinner, hosted at Maria and Zlatko Papak’s house just outside of Old Town, where you sit at a table with perfect strangers who become friends after several glasses of local potions and elixirs, is a must. “I’ve known Marija all my life,” Vuković says. “It’s as local as it can get with tons of great food, great vibes, and you get to eat with great people,” he says. Experience peka, a traditional method of cooking meats and vegetables over open flames, as well local meats and cheeses, Croatian wine, and so much more. Vuković recommends canceling your plans the next day as the grappa and wine flow very freely throughout the night.

D'vino Wine Bar

A hidden wine bar in Old Town, D’vino is the best place to stay in the shade during hot summer months—and away from crowds. “They have fantastic wine flights to get to know Croatia through wine,” Vuković says. The bar focuses on small wine producers and family-run vineyards across the country so you can taste everything from Dingač, a robust red wine from the Pelješac Peninsula, to Grk, a wine made from the native Croatian grape from the island of Korčula, which makes excellent dry white wine.

Bouza mussels at Sesame.

Restaurant Sesame

Vuković notes to book a reservation at Sesame, just across from the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik. It’s a quick 3-minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Old Town but a serene escape—and the menu is inspired by the freshness of seasons and Dalmatia’s culinary heritage. Gregada—an iconic fish and potato soup—entails sea bass, monkfish, prawns, shrimps, mussels, potatoes, wine, and onion. The cocktails are also a treat.

Glam Beer Therapy

Glam Beer Therapy is just across from D’vino and a solid bet if you’re traveling with friends and there’s a great divide between who wants wine and who wants beer. “Craft beer is a big thing in Croatia,” Vuković notes. “Dubrovnik is home to Dubrovnik Beer Company , which produces local beer, and you can drink it in Glam with at least 50 different types of craft beer.”

Peppino' s Gelato

It’s always a good idea, especially during the summer months. “I refresh myself with strawberry or mango sorbets in the summer,” Vuković says. As for the artisanal gelato, which is super creamy and made with the highest quality ingredients, he keeps it simple with vanilla. I personally can’t not order carob and fig or ruby stracciatella if they’re on the menu.

Habitat Distillery

“Once upon a time my friend, Vlaho Carević, was a fantastic tourist guide—and now he’s a fantastic gin maker,” says Vuković. Carević’s new space is a concept store with a shop, workshop and tasting room. The gin is distilled with local ingredients like sage, lavender, and sun-kissed lemons from the garden. In the workshop, learn about what makes this gin so unique while crafting your own gin.

Seafood meets street food at Barba, where you’ll find locals and tourists lining up for some of the city’s most affordable and delicious bites. Vuković notes that it hits all the right marks: a trendy place, awesome seafood, inside the Old Town, quick, and cheap. “The octopus burger is my guilty pleasure,” says Vuković. The octopus is formed into a tasty patty with all the right toppings, housed in a squid ink-dyed bun. Order it and don’t think twice.

Fratellos Prosecco Bar Dubrovnik

Fratellos Prosecco Bar

Located in the historic Boninovo area, Fratellos, owned by three brothers, is the country’s first-ever prosecco bar. Boninovo is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Dubrovnik, known for its seaside cliffs and striking mansions and villas. “Locals love to watch the sunset from there,” says Vuković. Bubbles, views, and cigars...what’s not to love?

This cozy, charming and relaxed bistro is family-run, situated in a buzzy part of town just across from the bus station. Vuković notes it’s very affordable and a local hangout—and to order the black risotto with Adriatic cuttlefish. There’s ćevapčići, deliciously grilled minced meat, and a plethora of Mediterranean-inspired pizzas and pastas, and even a noteworthy burger menu.
