Today I took a little day trip out to @painshill to visit their vineyard. It was adorable!
I have to admit, a big part of today's excursion was an excuse to go somewhere new. I had heard about painshill anyway from my interest in gardening and historical landscaped gardens. This place is of particular note due to how it laid abandoned and forgotten for a very long time till the painshill trust started putting it all back together again in the 80s, and man, I am glad they did!
It's full of charming and utterly whimsical follies, beautiful vistas over the north downs, and some truly lovely garden spaces to find peace in. Also it has a walled market garden which is basically my fave thing.
The only let down was that I didn't spot one of my fave garden writers who I know works there. 😋 If you don't follow him already, please do for innumerable gardening tips and inspo. @simonakeroydgardenwriter

I will be reviewing the wine in another po…
