Spinnaker Tower partners with award-winning Hampshire vineyard for exclusive ‘Vine to View’ experience

Spinnaker Tower is bringing together two of Hampshire’s standout visitor experiences this summer with the launch of an exclusive wine tasting and fine dining evening.

The new ‘Vine to View’ experience, being hosted 100m above the Solent during English Wine Week, is in partnership with acclaimed wine producer Hattingley Valley Wines. Guests can enjoy expertly paired English wines while taking in panoramic views across Portsmouth Harbour, the Solent and beyond from one of the South Coast’s most iconic landmarks.

The event has been designed to celebrate the growing reputation of English wine while showcasing the best of Hampshire hospitality and produce. Guests will enjoy a curated menu paired with a selection of Hattingley Valley wines, guided by experts from the award-winning vineyard.

Richard Hale, General Manager at Spinnaker Tower, said: “Vine to View is all about celebrating exceptional local experiences. We’re incredibly proud to partner with Hattingley Valley, one of Hampshire’s leading wine producers, to create an evening that will live long in the memory.

“With floor-to-ceiling panoramic views, changing coastal light and the elevated setting, it will create an atmosphere designed to complement the tasting journey and enhance the sensory experience. Premium English wines and a five-course menu with a sunset backdrop overlooking the historic harbour – what’s not to love.”

Hattingley Valley, based near Alresford, has earned an international reputation for its sparkling and still wines, receiving more than 180 industry awards and accolades for its innovative winemaking.

Commenting on the upcoming event, Simon Robinson, owner and chairman of Hattingley Valley, said: "Hampshire's wine story has come a remarkably long way in a relatively short amount of time, and English Wine Week is a lovely opportunity to share it. Partnering with Spinnaker Tower means doing so from one of the South Coast's most iconic vantage points - a fitting stage for wines we're enormously proud of."

Vine to View forms part of Spinnaker Tower’s growing programme of quality experiences, which continue to attract both local residents and visitors to Portsmouth.
