About Henners Vineyard

Henners is one member of a family of wineries with roots across the world. We draw inspiration from our sister vineyards in France, Italy, South Africa and New Zealand while celebrating the 'Englishness' that makes our wines special. Established in the early 2000’s, our winery can be found in the picturesque village of Herstmonceux, East Sussex on the south coast of England. Only 5 miles from the English Channel, our vineyard thrives on a strong coastal influence, with sea breezes that bring a crisp salinity and personality to our wines. Our mission now and for the future is to continue to create remarkable wines for those special moments you will cherish for ever. We don’t want the wines to ‘be the occasion’, we just want to be part of it. Cheers to the memories!
