The transformation of the Bolney Wine Centre from an old warehouse into a captivating wine destination represents a visionary project that breathes new life into the space. Blenheim Design, the creative force behind the renovation, has meticulously blended elements of Bolney's charm with contemporary elegance to create an immersive experience dedicated to the exquisite art of wine tasting.

At the heart of the Bolney Wine Centre rejuvenation stands its enchanting shop, meticulously curated to showcase Bolney's distinguished wines alongside a thoughtfully selected array of drinks and preserves sourced directly from the estate's own gardens. Spanning across 433 square meters, visitors can explore Bolney's diverse offerings and learn about the winemaking process in an environment inspired by the winery's traditional roots.

The design of the space extends to a warm and inviting café, seamlessly blending Bolney's rich history with modern aesthetics. Here, patrons can indulge in a menu artfully crafted to complement Bolney's wines, all while enjoying the ambiance of the vineyard's heritage. Oversized light rings elegantly pay homage to the wine barrels, adding a touch of whimsy and sophistication to the space.

The crown jewels of the Bolney Wine Centre are its two interlocking tour rooms, elegantly designed to provide an immersive and educational experience for visitors. Blenheim Design has equipped these rooms with a blend of old and new technology within a cozy setting, ensuring an enriching exploration of the world of wine.

Throughout the project, Blenheim Design has expertly married traditional and contemporary elements, utilizing materials such as locally sourced oak to create a striking wine feature wall. Chalk and limestone have also been featured in the design, serving as a positive nod to the local soil that imparts mineral tastes to Bolney's wines, further enhancing the visitor experience with their authenticity and connection to the terroir.
