in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Old Luxters is home to
'Chiltern Valley Wines', its vineyard, winery,
brewery and cellar
shop. Our first vines were planted in 1982 on the slopes
of the Chiltern Hills, surrounded by beech woodland and overlooking
the beautiful Hambleden Valley near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire,
UK.

Our modern production, bottling and labelling
facilities, cellar shop and
wine vats are all housed in traditional farm buildings.
Since our first harvest in 1984, we have produced an increasing
range of fine, award-winning English wines to delight the eye and excite
the palate. With over 70 trophies, awards and commendations in blind-tasted
national and international competitions, our wines have been rated
amongst the finest in the world and have gained an enviable reputation
for quality both here and abroad. |

As a truly independent brewery,
we are proud to have revived the tradition of farm-brewed, full
mash Real Ales using wooden-clad mash tun, copper, liquor and fermentation
vessels. We combine tradition with the very latest technology in
sterility and temperature control.
The Master Brewer at Old Luxters blends only the finest English
malted barley, pale, crystal and chocolate malts to gain the flavour,
fullness and depth of colour in our Ales, seasoning with choice
English hops for aroma and bitterness.

leave even a little of it in the glass…”
Jilly Goolden, Wine Writer, April 2002
“The wild strawberry liqueur … tastes
of the fruit yet it’s not syrupy … [and] I relished
every sip.”
Sandra Carter, BFP, March 2001
“It was rich, luscious with wonderful length
and noble rot depth.”
Harry Cohen, Sunday Telegraph
“…a fabulous, exotic and heady mix
of exquisitely fine … flavours.”
