Here at Waddesdon we are championing the ever-expanding world of English wines. English Sparkling Wine Month, taking place throughout August, will celebrate some of the very best producers right here on our doorstep, and is designed to capture the imagination of guests and hopefully introduce visitors to a new favourite tipple.

The month-long celebrations will both begin and end with an indulgent Dinner with Gusbourne Estate Wines.

Guests can look forward to an early-evening drink in the Grade-1 listed grounds of the Manor, before heading inside to the historic Manor Restaurant to enjoy a seasonal four-course menu designed by Waddesdon’s Head Chef, Ben Thurkettle. Dishes such as cauliflower panna cotta and tuna carpaccio will be complemented by exceptional wines from the Gusbourne Estate, including their brilliant Gusbourne Guinevere
