  1. Ham Street Wines

Ham Street Wines was founded in 2019 by Lucie and Jules, who planted over 16,000 vines across 10 acres, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus and Pinot Gris. Their first harvest came in 2021, with debut wines released the following year. Every bottle is a small-batch natural wine, made exclusively from grapes grown on their own land. With minimal intervention in the winery, each vintage is crafted to reflect the conditions of the season.

2. Limeburn Hill

Limeburn Hill is an ecological vineyard near Bristol, owned and farmed by Robin and Georgina. It is the only biodynamic vineyard in the southwest and one of just a handful in the UK. Perched on a south-facing slope overlooking the Chew Valley, the site was hand-planted with 3,000 vines. The couple have created a healthy, wildlife-rich landscape, allowing the spirit of the land to be expressed fully in their fruit and wines.

3. Renegade Urban Winery

Renegade Urban Winery was founded by Warwick Smith in Bethnal Green, East London. The project sources grapes from across the UK and Europe, bringing them into the city to produce wines that are bold, adventurous and unpretentious. Made with spontaneous fermentations and minimal intervention. Renegade has gained a reputation for pushing boundaries, from dry-hopped sparkling wines to skin-contact experiments, all made in an urban setting.

4. Still Room

Still Room is the project of Chris and his team, who set out to create English vermouths that highlight local ingredients while avoiding artificial additives. Working with a Bacchus wine base, they layer botanicals, herbs and spices into complex blends that are balanced, aromatic and true to their origins.

5. Fine Cider

Founded by Felix Nash, The Fine Cider Company champions small-batch, naturally made ciders and perries from orchards across the UK.

6. Sobremesa

Sobremesa is a project by Adrian and Alys in the Brecon beacons, Wales. They produce mixed-fermentation saisons, beer-wine hybrids, cider and perry, all made from local fruit and grains. Their approach combines wild and cultivated harvests, spontaneous fermentation, and careful farming, with biodiversity and stewardship at the centre. Each release is small-batch and experimental, reflecting both the abundance of the land and their dedication to natural processes. Sobremesa’s work bridges beer, wine and cider, offering a distinctive take on mixed fermentation in the UK.

7. Numbers Wine

Numbers is the project of Caroline and Hugh Thorn, based in Hackney. They produce small-batch, no-addition natural wines in collaboration with UK growers.

Their approach is experimental, collaborative and community-led, with each vintage reflecting both place and people.

8. Sandridge Barton

Their approach is low-intervention, focusing on expressive wines that highlight both the region’s climate and the character of the fruit.

9. Wild Wine School

Wild Wine School was founded by Debbie Warner to bring wine education out of the classroom and into the wild. Since its launch in Spring 2020, it has offered workshops, courses and events that explore sustainable viticulture, minimal intervention winemaking, and the natural world. Based at Agweres in Cornwall, the school delivers hands-on experiences under open skies - vineyard visits, tastings, masterclasses - plus online and regional courses. Its programmes aim to reconnect people with where wine comes from and to teach wine in a way that’s as wild, sensory and grounded in nature as it is informative.

10. Whinyard Rocks

Whinyard Rocks are Susan and James. They work on their fourth-generation sheep farm in Radnorshire, Mid Wales. The shift from traditional farming to ecological viticulture has shaped their approach, with regenerative practices at the core. Their focus is on hand-crafted natural wines that capture both the character of the land and the story of their transition into viticulture. Each cuvée is made in small volumes, fermented naturally, and reflects the evolving relationship between farming and winemaking on this historic site.

11. Natalia Harris

Natalia and Phil farm 2 hectares near Hastings, producing small-batch organic wines from Ortega, Chardonnay, Bacchus and Pinot Noir. They use sheep for weed control and avoid ploughing or heavy machinery, farming with care and precision. Phil, an oenology graduate from Plumpton, brings experience from Olivier Humbrecht in Alsace and vineyard management at Davenport. Together they focus on wild fermentations, minimal handling and bottling without filtration to make wines that speak of their land.

Titch Hill is the project of Alex Tristram and Sam Bunker in Sompting, West Sussex. The vineyard is part of Alex’s family farm, where his uncle began environmental restoration in the 1980s to recover land from post-war industrial farming. After meeting at Plumpton in 2017, Alex and Sam began working together, planting 3.5 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in 2019, followed by 4 hectares of PIWIs. The site is in organic conversion and is managed as part of a holistic farm with livestock and crops, with sheep grazing in the vineyard through the winter.

In 2021, they worked in Spain with fruit from Catalunya and Ribeira Sacra, before releasing their first UK wines in 2022. Their focus is on zero-addition wines, made from unsprayed vineyards in Somerset and East Sussex, highlighting both classic and hybrid varieties.

Among the first in the UK to fully embrace natural winemaking, their philosophy centres on working with the land to produce expressive, site-driven wines. With nine hectares of south-facing vines, they grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Albariño, all farmed without synthetic inputs. Fermentation is spontaneous, methods are traditional, and nothing is rushed or overworked.

15. The Sparkling Sake Brewery

The Sparkling Sake Brewery was founded by brewer Naoki Toyota, who moved from Japan to Cambridgeshire, and is joined by sake educator Tracey Delaney. It is the only brewery in the world dedicated entirely to naturally sparkling sake. Using Champagne and pét-nat methods adapted to sake brewing, they create delicate, bottle-fermented drinks that connect Japanese tradition with an English context

All wines are made with wild ferments, no filtration and no added sulphites.

17. One Another

One Another was founded by George after a creative detour from Central Saint Martins into winemaking. It is a micro-winery rooted in collaboration and curiosity.

18. Margate Wine

Margate Wine is a project on the Kent coast, producing expressive, low-intervention wines that mirror the town’s creative energy and coastal climate. The team makes wine where they live, work and drink – in Margate. In 2024 they took on a tiny abandoned vineyard, gradually bringing it back to life, while making wine in their cellar on King Street. They work with their own Orion grapes and other varieties from local growers, sourcing most of their equipment by road-tripping around Europe. Each bottle reflects both the seaside setting and the collaborative spirit of this new project.

19. Blackbook Winery

Blackbook is an urban winery in Battersea, founded by Sergio and Lynsey Verrillo. They work with fruit from Essex and Oxfordshire, focusing on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with occasional experiments.
