Sussex Life: L is for Leonardslee Family Vineyards

We’re delighted to be featured in Great British Life’s Sussex Life magazine, showcasing the story behind Leonardslee Family Vineyards.

The article celebrates Penny Streeter OBE’s vision inspired by her South African wine estate to plant 38 acres of vines across Mannings Heath Golf Club and Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens, including a unique one-acre planting of South Africa’s signature grape. It’s what sets our sparkling rosé apart from any other in the UK.

The piece also spotlights our two luxury stays: The Vineyard Hotel at Mannings Heath and Leonardslee House, home to Michelin-starred restaurant Interlude, led by 2024 Great British Menu finalist Jean Delport.

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised in this beautiful celebration of Sussex excellence.

Come and experience it for yourself.
