Cotswolds Vineyard Celebrates 18 Years with Unique Tours and Tastings
Woodchester Valley Vineyard, located in the Cotswolds and established in 2007, has become a notable destination for wine enthusiasts. The family-run boutique winery is celebrating its 18th anniversary this year, having grown from a small beginning to producing over 100,000 bottles of still and sparkling wine annually across its 58-acre vineyard.
Founders Fiona and Niall Shiner converted a former farm building into a winery in 2016, with winemaker Jeremy Mount leading production. The vineyard offers ten different experiences for visitors, with tours starting at £10 per person. Visitors can bring their dogs for special Vineyard Tour & Dog Walks and enjoy insights into viticulture and winemaking.
Foodies can indulge in a collaboration with local award-winning Fish & Chip stars, Simpsons, or participate in the Woodchester Sunsets experience, which includes a taste of three award-winning wines paired with local delicacies.
Among the notable wines produced are Bacchus 2022, with elderflower, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and gooseberry aromas, and the award-winning Rose Brut 2020, featuring notes of strawberries and cream.
