Astley is a village, and a civil parish (with Dunley) in Worcestershire, England, about seven miles south-west of Kidderminster.
A range of English white wines including sparkling wines have been produced in Astley since 1983. The wines have won over 100 awards, and are now Quality Wine status, three of which have received International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) awards.
There is evidence in the village of Norman heritage. The house Astley Towne has a Norman cellar. There was formerly an estate at Glasshampton with the seat of the Winford family. The house no longer exists but the stables accommodate an Anglican Franciscan monastery.
