Hampshire winemakers come together to launch the Hampshire Celebration Collective

Chalkdown English Sparkling Wine and The B58 Winery, two of Hampshire’s independent winemakers, are launching the Hampshire Celebration Collective, a new partnership created to bring local wines to the county’s special occasions.

The Collective will be launched at a free tasting event at Kingsgate Wines & Provisions, Winchester, on Thursday 19th November, from 5pm to 7pm.

Guests are invited to taste wines from both producers, meet the people behind them and place orders for their own celebrations. A special discount will be available on the night.

Guests can taste Chalkdown’s Classic Cuvée, a light, refreshing English sparkling wine with notes of apple and citrus, and its Rosé, with a floral nose and red fruits.

From The B58 Winery, guests can try the B58 Red, a bold, expressive red with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, a hint of spice and oak, and velvety tannins; the Beaulieu White, an aromatic white with notes of rose petal, quince and tropical fruit; the Beaulieu Rosé, with vibrant notes of ripe soft fruits, citrus zest and a refreshing, smooth finish; and the Beaulieu Orange, a fresh and floral orange wine launched just this year.

Chalkdown and The B58 Winery share a simple philosophy: every bottle is made in their own Hampshire wineries, using a hands-on, low-intervention approach and no contract manufacturing. The result? Award-winning wines of exceptional craft that make for memorable celebrations. 

The Collective offers a bespoke pricing structure built around every order, with any wines from the two producers available to mix and match. The minimum order is one case, making it well suited to weddings, parties, corporate gifting and festive entertaining.

Piotr Nahajski, winemaker at Chalkdown, said: “Chalkdown and The B58 Winery are both small Hampshire producers who are passionate about every part of the winemaking process. We believe this care is what makes our wines so special, and perfect for people who are passionate about local produce and supporting Hampshire makers.”

Sandy Booth, Founder at The B58 Winery added: “Partnering with Chalkdown, a winery that shares the same passion of low-intervention and innovative winemaking as we do at The B58 Winery made sense. With this collaboration, our hope is that our shared passion will inspire people to discover local wines made in Hampshire, which are perfect for their own special celebrations”
