Bring your secateurs and a smile and we'll provide the rest! We should be done by 2-3pm. If you can stay to the end we'll reward your hard work with a bottle of wine!

Beautiful vineyard in Rutland producing stunning wines on Jurassic limestone soil.
Located on top of a narrow ridge between the rivers Welland and Chater, 70m above sea level and facing south we’ve got prime part of Rutland. Hard to think 160 million years ago this would have been England’s south coast! Single site vineyard planted in 2021.
