We would like to say a huge “Thank You!” to everyone who joined us at our recent Winter Open House event, which was held on Saturday 23 November 2024. We have been hosting these events since 2019 and love to offer an opportunity to visit us and to taste our latest releases in the lead up to the festive season. This year we were also pleased and proud to support once more our chosen local charity, Demelza. Plus, it gave us the opportunity to celebrate some of our amazing local partners and to come together under one roof to bring some seasonal cheer.
In addition to our exquisite English wines, we had the pleasure of pouring the range from our southern French sister estate, Domaine Sainte Rose.
We are pleased and proud to announce that the total raised for Demelza from this Winter Open House Event is £725.00.
Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. The charity is there to support them and their families at every step – from first diagnosis and for as long as they are needed.
We would like to say a very heartfelt "Thank You" to everyone who attended and donated. We look forward to supporting Demelza again in 2025.
Additionally, we would like to extend our thanks to four fantastic local business, who joined our Winter Open House Event to make it even more special. The marvellous Macknade joined in the celebrations with some fantastic festive fayre to sample and purchase. Plus we had some delicious, freshly-baked minces pies, from the local artisanal bakery, Gilda.
Annie Brown Aromathérapie presented her boutique cosmetics, which are crafted using locally-sourced products, including lees from our winery to make her rustic soaps and her new range of naturally-scented Chardonnay and Pinot Noir candles.
The Oak and Rope Company, based in Bridge, brought their beautiful hand-made oak items, which make for the perfect presents for that friend who has everything! They share our ethos of quality and heritage in their crafting of everything from wine coolers, chopping boards, garden swings, signs and much more.
As an exciting extra, Simpsons' Wine Estate was also delighted to offer two limited-edition Masterclass Experiences on the day.
Co-Winemaker, Den’e Van Wyk, guided guests through a very special tasting of our library collection and trophy-worthy pours.
Nestled in the elegant Glass House Tasting Room, which offers a superb vantage point over our world-class winery, the Masterclass gave guests the unique opportunity to delve deeper into the magic of winemaking and the chance to ask questions throughout the sessions.
