English Sparkling Wine
Blanc De Blancs
Crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, the complexity of our Blanc de Blancs is a delightful surprise to wine enthusiasts. Its versatility makes it perfect for enjoying now or as a unique wine gift.
Brut Reserve
A wine that embodies the essence of the vintage. It presents a vibrant intensity, balanced acidity, and a symphony of green apple, berry, and subtle brioche notes, culminating in a tangy finish with a fresh floral aftertaste.
Brut Rosé
This vintage stands out with its rose gold colour, vibrant red berry and Turkish Delight aromas, and a refreshing palate of strawberry, nougat, and grapefruit, finished with a fine, soft mousse that delights the senses.
Heritage Run
Starting from 4pm, this is an exclusive summer's afternoon and evening at Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens.
You'll enjoy four wine tastings en-route to finishing your 10km - definitely not a day for a PB but a lovely way to enjoy a run and the gardens.
Both runner and spectator tickets include a glass of Leonardslee English sparkling wine.
(after the run for participants!)
Friends & family are welcome to come along to cheer you on and enjoy the live music, delicious barbecue and wines.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Running with dogs
If you are planning on running with your dog please be respectful that those around you may not be dog lovers, so please keep your dog on a short and under control.
Canicross runners will start 5mins after the main block of runners have started. This is because of the narrow nature of the route in the first kilometre.
Please only bring well behaved dogs on short leads and please clean up after your dog and dispose of their mess using biodegradable bags. Please place in the doggie bins located in the gardens.
