Our story
A Century of Stewardship, a Future Forged in Vines
More than a vineyard, Leonardslee is a tapestry woven from two distinct threads: a hundred years of meticulous garden restoration and a relentless ambition to cultivate exceptional English wines. Situated amid the picturesque landscape of the South Downs, Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens stands as a testament to the vision of Sir Edmund Loder, who lovingly nurtured it from 1899 to 1920. But this story didn't end there.
The Streeter family, their spirit ignited by innovation, saw beyond its historical beauty. They saw a potential far grander, a narrative waiting to be penned. In this vision, the largest garden restoration project in Europe seamlessly intertwined with the cultivation of vines, drawing upon the land’s rich history to forge a future brimming with possibilities.
This is the essence of Leonardslee – a place where passion for the past inspires innovation for the future, where every bottle tells a story not just of exceptional wine, but of unwavering dedication and sustainability.
