About

Grow your love of wine, far beyond the bottle.
From the muddy wellies of January pruning to the beautiful sunshine across our Devon vineyard at harvest, our love of English wine has grown far beyond the bottle. The only thing we love more, is sharing it with you. So what are you waiting for?

Come join our family on a walk in the vines
Jump feet first into English wine with us on our Devon wine tasting & vineyard tour experience. Walkthrough the vines with our head wine wizard Tom and learn the year-round hands-on tasks that go into growing grapes overlooking Dartmoor. Topped off with a peak in our new winery and an informal wine tasting of our latest bottles.

Kitchen
Come tingle your taste buds in our Devon Kitchen. Serving delicious local cheese & charcuterie platters, homemade open sandwiches and freshly baked Devon splits. We are also serving warming cups of Tamar Koffi and delicious homemade Devon cakes and sweet treats.

Bottle & gift shop
We just love what the incredible people in our county are creating. That’s why our shop is full of local delights, such as gin, rum, cider and even some rather incredible plastic-free cosmetics.
