We are one of England's oldest vineyards
In 1973, we planted our first vines when local wine retailer Alan McKechnie started harvesting the vines on his small fruit farm. With a little help from the 1976 record summer temperatures and bumper harvest, his small fruit farm begun to expand. After nurturing it for 11 years, Alan sold up in 1984 due to poor health and the new owner was found.
We open our state-of-the-art winery and visitor center
In 1990, we opened a new state of the art winery, along with a visitor centre for the increasing number of visitors.
8 bedrooms follow so guests can enjoy English vineyard beauty
We add 3 Oak and Ceder lodges to the vineyard
