We produce red, rosé, and white still wines, together with a white sparkling. Our grapes are pressed and vinified at Three Choirs winery in Gloucestershire. After several tastings, the wine is bottled, then stored in a temperature controlled environment ready for sale.
Our wines have won many medals at the Wines of Great Britain (Wine GB) Awards and Mercian Vineyards Association (MVA) competition. The most prestigious of these have been a Gold Medal for our white sparkling in the UK competition, Best Red Wine in Mercia for our Bard's Red, and the Best Rosé in Mercia for our Rosé.
Our wine is currently sold through village stores, garden centres, local wine merchants and local National Trust properties.
We started planting our vineyard on a 3 acre site in 2005 on land which was once used as part of an RAF base and village cricket ground. The gently sloping site is at the edge of the village of Bearley in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside just four miles from Stratford-upon-Avon.
Bearley has links with the Shakespeare family through Mary Arden, Shakespeare's mother, whose house is in the neighbouring village of Wilmcote.
Whilst creating the vineyard, we hand-planted over 1500 native hedging plants as a windbreak and sowed grass between the rows to create the ideal sustainable microclimate for our vines.
