It's grape harvest time in Great Britain!
This is a time of year that's increasingly on the radar for anyone interested in Britain's food and drink scene. A vineyard tour and tasting at some of our favourite vineyards offers the chance to see where it begins, meet the people behind it and understand why British w**e is gaining such recognition at home and internationally. Take a look at some of our favourite
Chapel Down, Kent – One of England's best-known w**e producers, with vineyards rooted in the chalk soils of the Kent Downs and a reputation for award-winning sparkling and still w**es.
Velfrey Vineyard, Pembrokeshire – A family-run vineyard in Wales where south-facing vines benefit from Pembrokeshire's mild, coastal climate.
Sandridge Barton, Devon – Set in the Dart Valley, this South Devon vineyard has been producing English win for over 40 years.
