DRINK IN THE LANDSCAPE Refreshing mouthfuls influenced by Test Valley’s chalky terroir. WATER The pristine taste of award-winning Hildon Natural Mineral Water is the result of a 50 year journey of natural filtration and purification deep below the Hildon Estate. This is nature at its simplest – fresh, clean and crisp as country air. PH neutrality makes Hildon the perfect accompaniment to food and fine wines. World class sommeliers at the Institute of Masters of Wine single out Hildon as their preferred bottled water. Serena Sutcliffe, Head of Sotheby’s International Wine Department and Master of Wine, explains: “You need pure, neutral water, with no perceptible smell, saltiness or oiliness, to keep the palate fresh and clean.”

Hildon was founded by Christian Heppe in 1989, after acquiring the Estate and discovering the purity of the water, sourced from an underground aquifer. Country house hotel Chewton Glen was Hildon’s first customer, and Hildon also carries the prestigious Royal Warrant after several years supplying Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
