Hello and Welcome

The South West of England now produces some of the world’s very best wines. These regularly win top wine awards around the world, are crafted in a region of outstanding beauty, and what’s more if you’re in the UK, we’re just down the road, and here for you to discover us.

The quality of the wines we make in our region are today very much proven, but because many of our vineyards tend to be smaller-scale, often family run operations you may not have heard of all of them; but, we are here, waiting to turn your perceptions of English wine - still AND sparkling - and increasingly the exploding wine tourism scene here, totally upside down.

Our friendly collective has been supporting and educating members since the early 1970’s and many of those pioneer vineyards such as Camel Valley, Three Choirs and Astley Vineyard are still going strong, and now stand among our 80+ member vineyards alongside several subsequent generations of bold, inspiring, innovative growers and winemakers.

Wines from the South West stand out for their diversity and individuality, from super-fresh whites, delicate rosés, fruity reds to classic English Sparkling Wines. We’re open, come and see us!
