You step off the train at Amersham and the road opens into chalky hills and clipped hedgerows—this is the northern Chilterns, where small vineyards climb sun-facing slopes and farm lanes smell of cut grass. The Blue Line Wine Tour threads these lanes in a private coach, pausing at three producer-run vineyards where owners lead tastings and share their hands-on approach.

History
Viticulture in the Chilterns is relatively recent but built on long-standing mixed farmland; growers adapted orchard and hop grounds to vines as English wine demand grew.
Conservation
Small vineyards here often use low-intervention practices and hedgerow management, supporting pollinators and reducing chemical inputs; visitors should stay on paths and avoid trampling vine rows.
