In 2020 we were visited by the famous Hairy Bikers as part of their Hairy Bikers Go North series.
They spent the entire day with us learning about the day-to-day life of an English vineyard and winery. Not only did they try their hand at pruning the vines, they also helped us label our bottles.
We were very lucky to have them cook for us using our wines and pairing their dishes with them too. This was a great success for us as a family business where we sold over 10,000 bottles of wine within a 3-month period. Not only did our website crash numerous times but we also sold out of many popular varieties. We were very fortunate to receive many repeat customers and are still very grateful to the wonderful Si, Dave and team!
“This is such a good operation.”
“That’s an amazing wine, well done.”
