April showers carry on for now!
April hasn't been a disaster in the vineyard (no frosts) but it hasn't been a classic (where has the sun gone?!). This week looks like that northly wind will continue and we'll be out tying down the vines for the growing season ahead.
Thank you to everyone that's booked to go on our Friday vineyard tours so far. They are starting to sell out so please have a look if you're thinking of coming along. The fun relaxed tours are the highlight of the year so we cant wait for the longer days and welcoming you into the vineyard so show you what we're up to!
This week the tasting barn is open for coffees, cake, wine and cheese on-
10- 3pm Wednesday 24th April
10- 3pm Thursday 25th April
10- 3pm Friday 26th April
11-6pm Saturday 27th April
If you are an existing row post sponsor (thank you) we are taking renewals for 2024. The package this year includes a bottle of The Rutland Vineyard wine, certificate of sponsorship, a personalised plaque in the vineyard, a The Rutland Vineyard branded tumbler, a warm drink in the tasting barn and the chance to be among the first people to try our 1st ever wine. On top of all this if you come up to the tasting barn to renew we'll give you a drink on the house to celebrate!
If you're looking somewhere to relax and you like English still and sparkling wine, freshly ground coffee, homemade cake or local cheeses pop along to the vineyard. You can also enjoy the 1km nature trail around the vineyard.
We're situated just outside the lovely village of Ketton on Barrowden Road, and only a ten minute drive away from the A1, A47, A43 and the beautiful market town of Stamford!
No bookings required and no entry fee to the vineyard- just come and relax!
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.
Tasting Barn, Barrowden Road, Ketton, PE9 3RJ

Jurassic Way Wines was funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
In 2021 it helped transform the old farm barn into the tasting barn you see today.
