Join Us at Wiston Estate for a Wine Tasting & Biodiversity Net Gain Seminar
We’re delighted to invite our developer clients and contacts to an exclusive event hosted by Oakley Property and Wiston Estate, combining award-winning wine tasting with a timely and practical seminar on Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
Thursday 8th May 2025
4pm–6pm
Wiston Estate, West Sussex
It’s Not Just Another Seminar
Biodiversity Net Gain is becoming a vital part of sustainable development, and it’s opening up exciting new ways for landowners and developers to work together for the long term.
We’ve teamed up with Wiston Estate’s Biodiversity Team to show how they’re leading the way with a clear, reliable BNG offsetting solution. You’ll get insight into how this forward-thinking approach supports planning success and protects local ecosystems, while seeing first-hand the environmental gains already flourishing across the estate.
Once the business bit is done, we’ll get to the good stuff: a guided wine tasting in the heart of the vineyard, led by Kirsty Goring, using a hand-picked selection of Wiston’s award-winning sparkling wines. Expect relaxed networking, a tour of the estate, and a spread of cheeses and locally sourced snacks.
