Hello September!
​​
As the sunflowers start to set the vines are now pushing on towards harvest!
​​
It's going to be another sunny week ahead. If you walk around the vineyard you'll see the red variety grapes to start changing colour from green to red which is called veraison. We have also been stripping leaves away in the fruiting zone to ensure the grapes receive plenty of sunlight which helps the quality.
​​
We are open Wednesday to Saturday this week. On offer there is our sharing cheese platter and sweet bakes along with freshly ground coffee and of course a range of delicious English wines.
​​​​​​​
No bookings needed. No entry fee, free parking.

The row post sponsorship for 2024 has now sold out! We are so grateful for all the support in selling out the vineyard and we love seeing your personalised plaques shining away. Our Friday tours are also now also sold out which we're again incredibly grateful for your support.
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.
