Artelium Wine Estate

Description

Discover Artelium: A Contemporary Wine Estate in the Heart of Sussex

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Sussex countryside, Artelium is a contemporary wine estate celebrating the craft of English winemaking, art, and seasonal dining. Founded by Julie Bretland and Mark Collins, the name Artelium blends art and ium - Latin for ‘a place to congregate’ reflecting our philosophy of creating a space where people come together to enjoy exceptional wine, art, and food in a beautiful natural setting.

Immerse yourself in the innovation and artistry of modern English winemaking with our vineyard tours & tastings. Begin your journey among the vines, surrounded by the lush Sussex landscape, as one of our expert hosts shares the story of English viticulture and Artelium’s role in shaping its future. Pause to admire one of our striking outdoor art installations before continuing to our elegant tasting room, complete with glowing wood-burner, where you’ll savour a guided tasting of three of our award-winning still and sparkling wines.

When you dine with us, you'll settle into our chic, contemporary tasting room / restaurant, complete with exposed beams and a wood burning stove, to enjoy bold natural flavours and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, whether you're here for a fireside lunch, candlelit dinner or our Sunday menu. Enjoy bold, seasonal flavours crafted from the finest Sussex produce: think locally sourced beef, South-Coast seafood, Sussex cheeses, and vegetables from our own kitchen garden, all thoughtfully paired with Artelium wines. In the summer, dining extends to our sun-drenched terrace which overlooks the vines, perfect for leisurely lunches and golden hour drinks. 

With a menu that changes with the seasons, no two visits to Artelium are ever quite the same: just as every glass of wine tells its own story.

  • A word from the chef:

    My cooking is rooted in classic techniques but shaped by what’s local, seasonal, and sustainable. I don’t think food needs to tell a story — it just needs to taste incredible, look beautiful, and respect its ingredients. When you’ve got great produce in front of you, most of the work is already done — it’s just about letting those ingredients shine. I take a lot of inspiration from British produce and the global influences I’ve picked up along the way, always aiming for clean flavours, thoughtful presentation, and balance on the plate. In the kitchen, I value creativity, calm, and teamwork. For me, cooking is about constant learning and refinement, but also about hospitality — making sure every guest feels looked after and leaves wanting to come back for more.
