This week, Natasha was invited by Augusta Raimes to head to their vineyard at Hinton Ampner and help with one of the most exciting events in the Hampshire calendar - the grape harvest!

With a warmer than usual summer, the harvest is happening earlier than ever, and vineyards such as Raimes English Sparkling W**e | Vineyard | Hampshire The Grange and Candover Brook English sparkling w**e have all been hard at work over the last few weeks, with an army of amazing volunteers on hand, who help to pick multiple hectares of vines in just a few short days.

And Hampshire w**e is making headlines right now, winning global awards and being recognised as some of the finest in the world, so there’s never been a better time to try them!

Read the full Southern Daily Echo article on their website, and look out for Natasha’s fortnightly column to be in the know about all the latest goings-on in Hampshire’s food, drink and craft scene!

HARVEST 2026! It has been notable - the earliest harvest on record for us, of exceptional quality and picked by a fantastic band of volunteers.

The first heatwave came straight after challenging frost fights in May and the summer that followed has been ideal for vines on chalk. We have had 4 days of picking, starting with our précoce at the beginning of the month, and finishing with our Chardonnay this weekend. Thank you to all who joined us, we are delighted with the quality and have thoroughly enjoyed bringing it in with such great company🍇

What a brilliant day we had at the Alresford Agricultural Show! ☀️

A huge thank you to everyone who popped by the Raimes pitch for a glass of fizz — whether you were celebrating a win, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a glass of Raimes.

It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and meet lots of new ones too.

Thank you, Alresford Show, for another fantastic day! 🌸
