A LITTLE ABOUT US

WineGB Wessex is the third largest regional body of the parent organisation WineGB and is the most diverse in terms of vineyard size, with production ranging from hundreds of bottles to half a million bottles. Membership of WineGBWessex is open to all those interested in growing vines for wine making or making wine in the South East of England.

Our area includes Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Wiltshire. The vast majority of the commercial vineyards and wineries n our region are members, although our membership also includes some who grow vines simply for their own satisfaction. Some members are wineries making wine from bought-in grapes or contract winemakers and we also have associate members who are suppliers, land agents, students or consultants.



Members of WineGBWessex are automatically members of our parent organisation, WineGB, who, since January 2018, handle membership subscriptions centrally and pass regional funds back to us. Subscriptions are payable to WineGB from 1st January each year. Subscriptions for the region are additional to those for WineGB (albeit much lower) and are decided annually at the WineGBWessex AGM.
