Vineyard

Renishaw Hall’s vineyard was planted by Alexandra Sitwell’s father, the late Sir Reresby, in 1972. Up until 1986 it was certified the most northern vineyard in the world, 53 degrees 18 minutes north.

A vineyard tour at Renishaw gives you a fascinating insight into the running of the vineyard and the cycle of wine making. Kieron Atkinson, our award-winning winemaker, takes the tours around the vineyard which include sampling the superb, medal-winning still and sparkling wines we produce. Please see opposite for the latest public tour dates, which take place on selected Sundays during the main open season, at noon and 2pm.

Tours cost £12.50 per person and last approximately an hour and a half, including wine tasting. Pre-booking essential. Find out more and book your tour places at www.englishwineproject.co.uk

Private tours for groups of 12 and over can also be booked – perfect for group outings, birthday parties and special occasions.  To book a public or private group tour, contact Kieron Atkinson at kieron@englishwineproject.co.uk.
