More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive through a low stone wall into a sweep of vines and clipped hedgerows; wind from the Channel shifts the air, lifting scents of grass, crushed grape skins and a warm spirit from the distillery. Guides lead a small group across gravel and lawn into the garden room where sea-light and shrubbery frame the tasting.

History
La Mare evolved from traditional Jersey farming into a boutique wine and distillery estate in the late 20th century, keeping local recipes like Jersey Black Butter alive alongside viticulture.
Conservation
The estate emphasizes sustainable practices—well-drained plantings and careful water use—and limits group sizes to reduce impact on grounds and production areas.
