Black Chalk Wine is situated in the heart of the picturesque Test Valley. We are part of a working 1000-acre farm, located in the small hamlet of Cottonworth. We have great access links for those driving, and our location is perfect for day trips from London by train.

Driving to the vineyard

Journeys by car are simple - we are close to many major roads and motorways.

 

From the west, the A303 will bring you to Andover, our nearest town. Visitors from the south will also use the M3 via the M27. From the Midlands and the north, both the M4 and M40 join the A34, which brings you very close to the vineyard.
