		Denbies has about 300,000 visitors a year, a figure that grows by 5 percent annually, he said, and sales have grown consistently.
		According to "The Vineyards of England," a locally printed tome written by Stephen Skelton and quoted frequently by Ann, the Romans brought wine making to England after their invasion in AD 43, even though Tacitus declared the climate "objectionable" and unfit for wine production.
		The industry managed to hang on for a while after the fall of the Empire, but the death knell rang in 1066, when a French king, William the Conqueror, took control of the nation after the Battle of Hastings and promptly began importing wine for his new court from his homeland.

	Dorking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This breed which has 5 claws instead of the normal four, was a favourite for 19th century tables, including Queen Victoria.
		Dorking lost its stage coaches when the railways arrived, but now attracted wealthy residents who built large houses in and around Dorking, such as Denbies (now a winery) and Pippbrook House (now the library, with Council Offices in the grounds).
		Surrounding land and beauty spots such as Cotmandene and Box Hill were donated by landowners for public use and this, together with later planning controls, has enabled Dorking to remain one of the pleasantest towns within convenient reach of London, having escaped much of the modern development witnessed by its neighbours.

		By far the largest wine estate in the UK, Denbies' 265 acres of vineyard are beautifully sited on the gentle slopes of the Surrey North Downs, overlooked by Boxhill.
		The scale of the vineyard holdings is impressive, and visitors are free to roam through the vines.
		In the production of all fine wines, the secret of quality lies in the vineyards, and I feel that Denbies have to work harder at matching the grape varieties to their 'terroir', and producing better raw materials for their winemaker to work with.
