Denbies Wine Estate in Mole Valley

We recently visited the Denbies Wine Estate and had a lovely time! The vineyard was beautifully decorated, creating a festive atmosphere that our kids absolutely loved. They especially enjoyed the train ride and meeting Santa Claus and Elves.

Really lovely tour. The train car ride was my favourite bit. The views were STUNNING. The only reason I’m not giving full 5 stars is because I did not enjoy the wine tasting. It felt incredibly rushed and we only tasted 3 wines, all of which were similar, I would have liked a bit more variety. As well as it felt like everything EXCEPT wine was being promoted. Really beautiful place though Lunch was AMAZING

Very lovely place, we take our dog here to walk and the grounds are beautiful. Lovely tea and cake too!

A bit depressing. And shop full of overpriced trinkets.

Amazing place with loads of free parking for long walks and nice coffee.

Lovely place great place to start your walks and then visit the one hour wine tasting excellent value for money thanks Jeremy for a fun session. Food drinks available on site.

Beautiful place to visit. The vineyard tour is very interesting with wonderful views. The restaurant is fabulous with really friendly staff and delicious food.

Beautiful place, super relaxing, fair prices and friendly staff. We stayed at the hotel too, everyone was friendly and the food was excellent. Some minor issues: - they did forget to do a little birthday celebration for me despite being reminded 3 times by my partner that it was my birthday that day - they also forgot to give us a dog room even though we spoke about the dog on the phone and where the dog friendly areas were, luckily they had one available

Very enjoyable pop up market today. Cafe is a bit disappointing ! Very helpful staff with the wine selection.

Magical - it's a family experience - you just gotta go there!

Very informative,and Clarksons adopting their wines what's not to like ,tasting very impressed

Did Parkrun here on a Saturday (5k run every Sat at 9am). Lovely views and a nice English breakfast in the cafe afterwards. Recommend a visit. Nice gift shop etc.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot at many venues, and Denbies Wine Estate truly stands out as one of the most picturesque locations. I recently attended a civil wedding here, and I was blown away by the natural beauty and versatility of the estate. The rolling vineyards provide a stunning backdrop for outdoor shots, offering endless opportunities to capture breath-taking photos in natural light. The estate's indoor spaces are equally impressive, with elegant interiors that create a perfect setting for both intimate and large gatherings. The combination of natural surroundings and stylish interiors allowed me to get creative with my photography and deliver a wide range of images that the couple absolutely loved. The staff at Denbies were also incredibly helpful and accommodating, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their professionalism and attention to detail contributed to a seamless experience for the couple and their guests. If you're looking for a venue that offers both beauty and flexibility for your wedding photography, I highly recommend Denbies Wine Estate. It’s a dream location for capturing unforgettable moments!

Walked our dog around the estate, beautiful environment, stunning views over Surrey Hills. Excellent coffee. The shops has many tempting goodies, as does the restaurant! Local micro brewery and coffee roasters around the corner.

I would highly recommend the Wine tasting and cellar tour. Very informative and great to learn the history of the estate. The food in the Gallery Restaurant was exceptional with stunning views and first class service by our server Chloe.

Booking can be done online and thank you to the staff who remembered that it was my friend’s bday (i placed a note during online booking which i forgot lol) - they gave him a glass of wine upon arrival. Food wise- it’s reasonably priced. Huge serving and delicious. We got pork cutlet for main and lentil soup for appetizer. Dessert is just okay the brownie bite was kinda hard but overall it was an amazing lunch experience. Theres an art gallery within the estate and gift shop worth visiting. We werent able to do a vineyard tour coz it rained but we will definitely come back. Shout out to Kai- she’s very accommodating and warm to the gallery restaurant customers. She’s the one who took our order and served the food. All staff were lovely.

A really nice experience, from the welcome to our party to the farewell when we left, the staff couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful, we were met at the coach park for a ride on the train to the visitor centre where we had tea coffee, orange juice and biscuits, then a train ride through the vineyard with lovely views over the countryside and acres of vines with a very interesting informative talk about the different varieties and the benefits of the chalky soil, then an internal tour with a chance to see how the wine is stored and bottled, and tasted some of the wines. We then had time to have lunch in the restaurant with a good choice of food at very reasonable prices, followed by visits to the shop where we purchased some wine, the farm shop and art exhibition. Highly recommended.

Did the Secret Vineyard Trail yesterday with Sandra and had such a great time! The wine tastings were divine and Sandra was so brilliant to talk to and just made the experience so much fun. Thank you so much Sandra - I’ll be back!

Came for sisters 30th birthday party and loved it. The wine tour and lunch were both excellent. Thank you so much to Sandra, Sarah, James and team for a wonderful day xx

Lovely venue, made even better when the craft fair is there, dapper and suave. Something is missing. Maybe the venue would be so much better if it had a Dinosaur Park. Denbies Dinosaur Park has such a great sounding name to it.

We did the secret vineyard tour, which is 2 hours. Includes tasting of 5 wines, and they allow you to taste a selection of grapes directly off the vines, well worth the £32!

Nice setting, good walks with nice views of Box Hill and the Surrey Hills. Good Wedding venue. Gift shop, small farm shop and cafe.

Went in the secret vineyard tour last weekend. Our guide Chris was excellent fun, the tour was splendid and the grounds are stunning. We tried 7 different wines including sparkling and an orange flavoured. The shop was very well priced

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday in the upper floor restaurant and found the food and ambience great. I can't comment on the actual vineyard and other parts of the venue, as I didn't get a chance to visit those areas.

Really enjoyed visiting the Culture in Stone outdoor exhibition of beautiful Zimbabwean Shona garden statue work - in fact we came back three times to look around, brought various family members, and sent several friends along to look too. Also the Croydon Art Club exhibition, which was very high standard. Lovely to have an extra excuse to visit Denbies for a coffee and cake!

What amazing artistary and workmanship greet you when you visit Denbies Vineyard this summer. The Zimbabwe Statue and art team who are based out front have an incredible array or work on display that they have brought over with them. The impact and creativity must be seen in place to fully appreciate their impact. We bought three sculptures from them at extremely reasonable prices, two for our family to honour our recently departed Dad and 1 for my brother and his wife. The team were professional, courteous and kind and delivered and installed the works as part of their excellent service. We’d like to say Thank-you to them and well done Denbies, they are a real reason, amongst many, to visit your fab winery. Dominic & Alison

First impressions not great as we were greeted coldly by the lady on reception and felt as though we were intruding on her work on the computer. However things improved once we were handed over to Jeremy for our tour and tasting. He was fantastic, building rapport with guests, knowledgable and funny. Generous wine quantities offered during the tour. Estate is nice to walk round too. Shop with wine and wine-related goods but also a whole load of rather random products too. Lovely light cafe in the centre of the building with drinks and snacks plus a couple of choices of main meal. Additional farm shop is also worth a visit for local produce.

Beautiful wine estate offering tours, wine and food tasting. I enjoyed my day around it exploring the vineyard

Fabulous stay at Denbie's Hotel. Immaculately clean throughout. Helpful staff. Delicious food. We were walking The Pilgrims' Way. After a walk of 10+ miles that day, we were relieved to reach this beautiful hotel, surrounded by lush vines. We tried the sparkling wine, which was delectable. Thank you all. X

A great place to visit with friends or family. We did the wine tasting course, where we learnt of the history of Denbies, along with how they have grown into the huge wine estate that now resides here. We also enjoyed some of their very good wine. Everything is very well organised and it can get very busy with visitors here. There is free parking here, and it is very popular with ramblers, dog walkers, and families roaming amongst the vineyards.

Lovely place to visit for relaxing day out in nature. Cafe and shops has good choice of food and drinks.

they should get the coy carp back

Loved it. The history of the winery couldn't have been told better by Mona. Lovely lady. Wines were delicious, my favourite is Surrey Gold of which I bought a couple of bottles.

Free parking Great area to walk around Went there to support the Pop up market which I love

There is so much to do here. 1. Random walks/cycle routes 2. Winery visits 3. Vinery visits. 4. Hotel plus restaurant stays. 5. Spa/gym 6. Specialist garden centre and fruit/veg sales. 18/8/24

We went to Denbies for a coffee 🤭, and it was a really good quality cofee. I wanted to stay and taste some wines and enjoy around but we ran out of time. Next time, I will go to stay there for more hours

Mushroom fricassee today, very nice, no room for pudding! Looked busy (wedding) but wasn't - more wine purchased 😋

Came here on a Voel coach trip, beautiful setting in the Surrey hills. We had a quick drive up to the top of the hill and a quick taste of sparkling wine. Back at the estate we had a 3 course meal in the restaurant upstairs with great views of the vineyard. The food was delicious and service very friendly.

The 4 of us did the "A Taste of Denbies" experience which left a lot to be desired. Would not recommend it for 62 gbp that is charged. The description on the website is misleading and hypes up things a lot- eg there is no tea/coffee that is offered. Yes you do get 1 wine tasting,- in plastic glasses up a hill. Then you head back for dinner, which was decent, but again you would expect more.

Beautiful place to wander around but no wifi

A great visit today. We did the train vineyard tour with Christopher - reasonably priced, an excellent guide and very informative. Thank you!

Today we had a lovely vineyard tour with Sandra. We really enjoyed the day, Sandra was very informative and a great guide!

The vineyard itself is lovely. Large enough, well developed with amazing view. The guides are lovely and explained everything in details. The wines are great too. Compare to other English wines I’ve tried, they are among the top. However, the reception lady is not very helpful. She just directed me to the hotel without asking me what I’ve booked. The hotel did not let me to store the luggage there because I don’t have a hotel booking. I was there only for the wine tour and tasting. The hotel asked me to store the luggage at the reception. That is just fine. But when I went back to the reception, the reception lady was very impatient and unprofessional. She didn’t say anything to me even though she made a mistake. To become a successful vineyard is not that easy. With a disappointing reception makes it even harder. You are now one of the most successful wine estate in the UK. Please don’t let that small mistakes ruin your hard work. Get them on training.

Only walked through the vineyard but it was such a lovely walk.

Great day out, gift shop, wine sales and a nursery with a deli. Recommend the trip around the vineyards with a stop for sparkling wine 🍷

Very informative tour, we did both the indoor and the outdoor tour. I learned a lot about wine production and the conditions needed to grow wine in the UK. Loved the tasting and the incredible views over the North Downs!

This is an incredible site to visit. The vineyard setup is a proper winery with grapes grown onsite and wine made from locally grown grapes and from other vineyards. The tour is very good and gives a great introduction to the history of the place. A video of how the vineyard came about followed by a quick wine tasting. This was followed by an excellent three course lunch of chicken & chorizo starter, pork main and chocolate rocher for dessert. Absolutely top notch. The grounds around the site on a beautiful sunny day look outstanding. Overall, very impressed with th3 whole experience.

Lovely place, but wonder why they based the building design on a certain Polish location. Looks even more obvious in winter with all the wire fences.

we popped in while we charged our car. Probably the most picturesque EV charging stop in the area

It is an excellent place to visit and relax.

We did the train champagne tour. Excellent guide, nice champagne and superb views.

Nice to look at and walk around. There is free parking and you can do tours. Lots of food options too. Plus a shop and toilets.

Pleasant atmosphere, good music, food is alright, caramel tasted like bark, chewy too

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Denbies Wine Estate, and it was an incredible experience! The wine tour was both informative and fun. Jeremy provided a fascinating insights into the winemaking process while allowing us to sample some exceptional wines. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, making the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. Lunch at the estate's restaurant was a highlight. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly paired with their wines. The scenic views of the vineyard added an extra touch of magic to the meal. Overall, Denbies Wine Estate exceeded all expectations. It's a must-visit for wine lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a memorable day out. Highly recommended! Thanks to the team for making my birthday celebration unforgettable. Specially to the Gallery restaurant team for looking after so well my guests. :)

They have a shop, restaurant and outdoor cafe. Ice dispensers in the restaurant great for a hot day. Self serve cake inb the restaurant. The farmers shop has a lot of local produce.

Wonderful day out for the whole family.

Good service, nice lunch selection reasonably priced, nice gift shop and excellent wine shop

Tesla Supercharger - No toilet access unless the main building is open (it wasn't). Rough surface, harsh speed bumps.

Denbies is beautiful. Set in lovely countryside near Boxhill. We opted for the indoor wine tasting, which was great. There is a wealth of knowledge shared about the origins of the vineyard. The staff are friendly and helpful. You need to book in advance. The restaurant and cream teas get booked up quite far in advance. Great for walking, it has a farm shop and gift shop if you prefer to relax.

I went to Denbies with some friends for my 25th birthday and had the best day ever! Chris was the best tour guide anyone could ask for; his humour was infectious and you could tell how much he loved the estate which made us love it even more. The whole estate is stunning and Chris gave us a generous amount of wine! 10/10- we’ll definitely be back!!

Like being transported to the South of France, highly recommend

A fabulous winery and easily accessible by national rail from London x decided to hike from leatherhead and it was a crisp 2 hour with lots of animal friends along the way! Wine is affordable (but a large glass is only £2 cheaper than a bottle… so buy the bottle)! The vineyard was plentiful, the picnic tables were available, and the sound of trains in the background made for a serene and blissful experience x

This is real Surrey gem experience, vineyard surrounded by Surrey Hills, amazing experience for everyone, eating, vine tasting, walking, cycling, sightseeing. Vineyard got excellent geographical position and connecting to many local walks and infamous Pilgrims Way (guildford-dirking-canterburry). Surrey Hills are famous for the cycling and Boxhill near by is world one of the most famous virtual cycling hills.

Lovely wine tasting, followed by a lovely meal.

We had our wedding reception at Denbies. The staff were approachable and friendly and made the whole day run smoothly, particularly Ellie who helped us with all the organising and planning before hand. The grounds were lovely to go and have photos within the vineyard. The catering was all in house which made it easier for us and the food was lovely!

We booked an overnight stay to include wine tasting, evening meal and breakfast From the moment of booking, the process was seamless and the staff friendly and attentive. The Wine tour was fun and informative with Jeremy. Our meals were delicious and the restaurant team super helpful and accommodating. Thank you Denbies team for a great time.. would thoroughly recommend.

What an amazing experience of this vineyard. Me and my partner booked it so we can have an experience at the end of our North Way walk. Nice location just opposite of Boxhil. Not far from Dorking train station. Big parking, hotel, restaurant facilities available. Lovely train ride to show us around. Love the view of vineyard from the top. Love to keep walking around to enjoy. Wanna give it 5 stars but seriously didn't enjoy the wine.

Fantastic wine tasting tour by Shelly. Very informative, funny and delicious.

An excellent location for a great walk amongst the beautiful scenery of the Surrey Hills. You can easily clock up the walking miles in amongst the vineyard vines, while also navigate through ancient woodlands and open path ways on the hillsides to take in the stunning views of the encompassing undulating hills. If you're keen enough, you can incorporate an additional hiking circuit around Polesden Lacy into your walk around Denbies vineyards and easily do a 11 to 12 mile hike. Great day to be had in the great open countryside.

Unusual for Denbies but the coffee was awful

Once again British wine outlets are pricing themselves into oblivion. Now the wine game is only for the rich unfortunately. My father in law wanted to buy my wife and I a bottle of pinot noir, and so he did at great cost getting on for £30. Sorry but the quality wasn't even close to good enough, we'll use the rest for cooking. However it used to be a great day out at Denbies over previous years but alas you're halo has slipped dramatically nowadays. But I do get the impression that you are having the life squeezed out of you by rates and government taxes and rising overheads plus care of the vast grounds that you work, so I do understand and commiserate with you. I rather hope you get back to how it used to be.

Loved the short hike. Gorgeous place. Lovely Garden Cafe.

Disappointing experience. We’ve bought a hotel, dinner and wine experience package for £320 which we were excited about and came with our dog - for who we paid extra £25 for. Got woken up at middle of the night by a faulty fire alarm which took some time to turn off. Then in the morning once we got to the estate for our tasting, were told that despite us informing in advance and confirming about our small dog - were told that dogs are not allowed and we are free to make our own arrangements. Basically had nothing else to do other than cancel the rest of the day and just go back to London. Ended up being a very expensive and sub par country side overnight stay. That said, the hotel itself and the staff very very nice.

It's ok lovely venue, and setting, lovely gift shop. Also lovely wine. The only criticism not much of a selection of food for lunchtime. Also did not help that I ate an out of date sandwich, which I did not notice which was stale . I have to say national trust food better

Another nice art exhibition in the gallery at Denbies.

Ho quite often. Lovely restaurant, good service. A great place to shop fir gifts and buy six cards (I think!) Get one free. May be 10, but great selection

Many people are very keen on the wine from here such as international tourists I have been here with. It is expensive due to high UK tax on wine compared to the low tax in France and Spain and I would imagine to the lack of economies of scale compared to giant vineyards abroad. Also, the climate here is not right for grapes due to their need for constant sunlight so the fact that Denbies can produce any wine at all is a miracle. I have vines in my garden nearby and 2 out of 3 years the grapes just shrivel and die. Therefore, congratulations to Denbies as they obviously know much more than me!

We came for the indoor wine tasting and it was nicely done, with 4 wines tasted, a 20 minute video about the vineyard’s history, details about how wine is made, and a peek at the storage area - all taking just over an hour. We prebooked the night before, then on the day checked in at reception. It was a very easy process. They also have restaurants, vineyard tours, a large gift shop and more. The cafe had lovely cakes though the tea servings were a bit small for being a ‘large’. The gift shop had an interesting selection to peruse, including 20% off their bottled wines. Car park is large, and toilets are adequate.

Nice place to visit. Lovely long walk in and around the estate. Fabulous views of the Surrey Hills. Finished the walk looking around the farm shop and the gift shop. Just a little disappointed that everything is so expensive!

Great tasting lunch at Denbies. Wonderful place, thank you Becky for such an amazing lunch paired with wonderful Denbies wines. Will be back!!!

Some interesting sparkling wines. A lazy effort in pareing. No kitchen required !

The main building needs a serious refresh! The conservatory restaurant felt more like a run down garden centre, with fake plants in the middle, buffet that was slightly off putting (I felt sick after the sandwich I had) and dirty glass. This place could be so much better if they put some love into that area of the estate, as the rest is nice.

Expensive afternoon tea, 2 tiny sandwiches, few mini cake and a scone per person . Wine lovely but really not worth the money

Really enjoyed going there today went to the crystal ..psychic fare ...lovely inside too .will definitely go again ...my only criticism would be more vegan food in the restaurant please 🙏

Lovely bottle of fizz after a long hike with a fun crowd

Booked Santa visit for daughter as had taken her brothers a few times before, event has gone down hill, used to be ride around the area then inside to see Santa in his little hut to get a present then a mince pie an colouring, inside was xmas display all very nice, this year a ride then stop in middle to see Santa on a deckchair with general public walking past, and other visitors in background of pictures, £60 seems a rip off the £7 squires garden centre Santa much better

Open place with a lot of facilities and shops, loved walking through the vineyards and enjoyed a glass of wine next to them.

We are big fans of Denbies Orange Label Sparkling. At £17.95, it delivers well above its price label. So what a great place to take our youngest to see Father Christmas for the first time. We loved the Landrover Train, and the entertainment Elves Twinkle and Pickle made all the children laugh. We had Christmas lunch in the cafe a very reasonable 2 x £10 with obviously a glass of mulled wine. Note to marketing we all smiled at Santa's Deck Chair... maybe you could pick up one thats more throne like on MarketPlace. Fantastic Family Experience, see you next year.

Lunch here is always good value for money.

An average place...not special but just about ok...JUST! Although the white wine IS good too..

We met up with Santa... Kids had great fun, if you are going take a hat and gloves it's windy on the way up the hill. 😄

Went to Denbies today for some Christmas Shopping in their gift store and was served at the till by an incredibly rude lady. So much so I almost left my goods at the till and left. Will most definitely think twice about coming back

Went for a xmas party, Food was ok nothing special, nice venue and DJ Turkey dinner was a bit dry and needed more gravy, the portions were also quite small, a few more bits of potato/veg would have buffed it up a bit. A couple of our friends had the veggie option and said the whole dish tasted the same, not much flavour and requested more gravy. Pudding was a chocolate tart with orange creme, it was a bit mediocre tbh and lacked the vavavoom for a xmas party. The "orange creme" wasn't very nice and was more like a warm frothy foam.

An amazing stay at the Denbies vineyard in November with our dog. The hotel was very dog friendly, the food was amazing, and the dog was allowed in the wine library for all our meals. The staff were super accommodating and we loved the wine and afternoon tea. Will be back soon and highly recommend this for a mini getaway! Great for some nice walks as well!

Lovely , went to charge the car ended up spending a few hours , lovely walking and cafe , and obviously the vineyards ..

I didn't use the facilities but hiking around this area was beautiful. They had facilities for hikers such as toilets and shoe covers for the muddy walkers so that was really helpful!

We did the indoors tour with Jeremy, could not recommend any higher, we loved it! Arigato gozaimas Jeremy! Thanks!

Went for a wine tasting, although the food and wine parings were nice, the staff seemed to had forgotten us, waiting up to 30mins between wines while watching other tables being served. For the £40pp it left a sour note. Speaking to reception on the way out it felt as though our concerns were not heard.

Went to the Surrey Care Awards at Denbies last night and had what was unfortunately the worst vegetarian meal I have ever had. The centre piece of which was apparently raw cauliflower

Poor quality and poor customer service
