Savouring Summer with Hambledon Vineyard
It’s true that the British truly know how to summer. Whether delighting in strawberries and cream in front row seats at Wimbledon, or an indulgent alfresco picnic at Glorious Goodwood or Glyndebourne. It is no secret that a perfect British summer’s day is unequivocally linked to a mouth-watering spread.
In honour of acclaimed winemakers, Hambledon Vineyard, joining us at this year’s British Motor Yacht Show, we chatted to their Michelin Starred Head Chef, Nick Edgar. Known for his skill at coupling the finest foods with their delicious range of English wines, here he shares some of his top food and wine pairings, perfect for enjoying on a day out on the water…
Luxury Picnic Hamper
“To me, the essence of summertime is in a perfectly executed picnic. Combining the finest seasonal produce with the crunch of fresh bread and the creamy yet elegant texture of our Hambledon Premier Cuvée – a match made in culinary heaven.”

A Leisurely Luncheon
“With the taste of salt in the air, what better choice for alfresco dining at sea than deliciously crispy pan fried cod. To really intensify the flavour, I honed a creamy sauce using our Hambledon Classic Cuvée. This vibrant wine, with structured yet ripe acidity, works beautifully with the delicate fish creating an utterly mouth-watering pairing.”
