Ever wondered what it would be like to visit the only off-grid, organic vineyard in Sussex?

@banglemag was lucky enough to check out @oxneyorganicestate this bank holiday weekend as part of the research for our Vineyard Vacays bumper summer feature (dropping next month).

With a range of onsite accommodation options, Oxney also offers group tasting tours in situ (not just in the tasting rooms but also right next to the vines), followed by a classic wicker-basket picnic, featuring locally made cheeses and seasonal home-baked treats.

Sustainability: Not only does Oxney produce its own electricity, but the estate actually puts solar-powered energy back into the grid! How’s that for added value?

The vineyard itself spans some 35 acres and is home to an incredible 57,000 vines and 5 different grape varieties. We loved hearing all about founder Kristin’s formidable passion for organic production, and seeing behind the scenes of Oxney’s award-winning vintages.

For the full scoop, follow @banglemag to be the first to hear about our GRAPEVINES issue.

🗓 MAY in LDN 🗓
By @burgers_and_burpees

1.

Florals for spring? Yes, please – especially when served with a side of rabbit and cuttlefish paella or grilled sugar pit Iberico pork chop. Tucked just five minutes from the RHS Chelsea action, @wildflowers.restaurant will be open for lunch (12–5pm) and dinner (from 5pm) from 20–24 May. With seasonal plates & a botanical backdrop, it’s peak petal-to-plate.

2.

What’s better than fresh pasta in Soho? Fresh pasta followed by Soft & Swirly’s dreamy sundaes. All month long, @pastaiolondon is serving two limited-edition ice cream creations:
• Lemon & olive oil ice cream with whipped ricotta, strawberries, and toasted almonds
• Marsala & coffee ice cream with mascarpone cream, cocoa & chocolate flakes (a tribute to their legendary tiramisu).

3.

Raise a glass (or a fork) to spring at @sesta.dining, where the new 16-seat terrace brings a splash of country charm to Hackney’s Wilton Way. Surrounded by aromatic herbs & blooming planters, diners can tuck into Cajun ham chou farci with smoked eel or leek & borlotti bean hummus with pickled rhubarb & pistachio crackers, all paired with their signature natural wines. It’s as idyllic as outdoor London dining gets – no picnic blanket required.

4.

Sgroppini, but make them swanky. This month, @theoriolebar is teaming up with @icecreamunion to serve Champagne Sgroppinis – fizzy, frosty cocktails topped with artisanal sorbet and Moët.

And, this Bank Holiday Monday, swing by Oriole for a Cinco de Mayo bash like no other. From 3–6pm, groove to live Latin tunes while feasting on festive dishes from Chef @giallonardogustavo

5.

From a humble Borough Market trestle table to two buzzing restaurants, @arabicalondon is celebrating 25 years of mezze magic. Expect a journey through their greatest hits: think fire-kissed meats, dips so smooth you could bathe in them, & pickles that pack a punch. It’s a party plate for the ages.

6.

Celebrate Sauvignon Blanc Week (April 28 – May 5) with @rokarestaurant.uk, where the wine flows & the vibes follow suit. Sip on Ibbotson Sauvignon for £10 or indulge in Sancerre Serge Laloue for £14, paired with robata-grilled bites and pristine sashimi.
