Nestled in the beautiful hills outside Bath, our brand-new English vineyard, planted in May 2023, is taking root. We are thrilled to share this incredible venture with you!
About usChardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier are the stars of our vineyard. They are coping with the unusual British summer this year, and we're busy ensuring they thrive. Shoot selection and vine tying are well underway, laying the foundation for good root growth this year.
Sitting just to the north-east of Bath, the recently planted Tennygrove Vineyard was inspired by watching the movie 'A Good Year' at least annually for the last decade. When Ally and Rupert found themselves with land to spare at their farm with south-facing slopes and rich, loamy soil, there was no option but to plant vines. Tennygrove is poised to produce exceptional grapes that to produce English Sparkling Wine and Rose.
Managed by a team of experienced viticulturists, Tennygrove Vineyard is just entering its first growing season, and we are working carefully to preserve the natural beauty and fertility of the land. From careful soil management to precise pruning and harvesting techniques, every step of the process is designed to maximize the potential of the grapes and produce wines that truly showcase the unique terroir of Somerset.
As the vines mature, we look forward to sharing the fruits of our labour with you!

Mark your calendars for 2026-7, when we'll finally get picking and get some of our own grapes into tanks ready for the magic to happen. With a lot of hard work and some good English weather, we're anticipating some seriously amazing sparkling and still English wines.
