After an ambitious refurbishment project lasting five months and representing an investment of 500,000, the new look Chapel Down winery and Fine Food store was re-opened to the public in time for the St George's Day weekend.
The building is clad in oak and finished in galvanised steel to replicate the materials used in the making of wine'. It features a large fine-food shop stocking only English and British fare. Upstairs is a restaurant and wine bar.
Commenting on the development, Frazer Thompson, managing director of English Wines Group plc, said, This wonderful new building is a fitting home for the very best of English. As we grow and employ more people, as our suppliers grow and flourish, and as we attract new farmers to supply us, we are able to be the catalyst for a number of exciting developments.'
