English & Welsh vineyards have come to life and there’s lots to do this month and even more to look forward to! Be spontaneous with a self-guided tour, check out a vineyard offering Friday sundowners, do yoga in the vines or start planning how you can get involved in Welsh or English Wine Weeks. All the details you need are below.
Fizz Favourites - top of my wish list this month
There are so many fabulous events going on it’s difficult to pick my fizz favourites this month but here’s a couple that caught my eye:
Wines by the glass or bottle paired with the finest local oysters – it doesn’t get better than that!
Vineyard Vibes, Sandridge Barton, Devon – 24 – 26 May
From the house groves of Sunset Social Club to rhythm & harmony and Spanish guitar, there’s music to suit every taste over the bank holiday weekend. Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy.
Friday sundowners in the vines
Imagine toasting the start of the weekend whilst surrounded by vines – add in some delicious food options, maybe some music and you’ve got a perfect Friday evening.
From pizza and platters, to bbq, burgers & bubbly and a range of street food there’s something for everyone.
Vineyard tours at your own pace
Self-guided tours are a great way to discover more about vineyards without committing to a full tour, and many can be a spontaneous outing. Imagine a lovely wander around the vines, learning as you go – and the opportunity to try some delicious wine at the end (or the beginning!).
Love yoga & wine?
Read the blog to find out about vineyards offering yoga in the vines. From sunset sessions to wine and wellness events they are becoming popular additions to vineyard events programmes.
Events are taking place at vineyards across Wales. Find out more at the official website. If you want an opportunity to try fantastic Welsh wines all in one place, check out Vin Van Cymru @ The Corp Market in Cardiff where you can sip your way through some of the best wines in Wales from 8 different vineyards.
This year’s English Wine Week is going to be huge! There are festivals, wine fayres, battle of the bubbles, grand scale tastings and loads of special events. That’s on top of all the usual tours, tastings and dining experiences. Wherever you are in the country there’s probably a vineyard closer than you think. Use the vineyard finder to look.
