4. Denbies, Surrey

The family-run Denbies estate overlooking Box Hill in Surrey has been churning out lip-smackingly good wine since the early 1980s.

Seven miles of public footpaths meander through the vineyards here, but if you’re feeling lazy, you can always hitch a ride on the winery’s dedicated train service. Evening tours are a nice touch in the summer, providing a great excuse to knock back the well-regarded Rose Hill rosé with hints of raspberry and cranberry.

Granted, this one is a little further from London but its celebrated wines – including the best-selling Pinot Noir Rosé Brut with delicate hints of strawberry – means it’s more than worth the schlep.
