A low sun slides over neat rows of vines as visitors step from a country lane into Wellhayes Vineyard. The owner meets the group at the gate, voice carrying across the green, and guides guests between espaliered trunks and the pale trunks of the winery where stainless tanks sit cooling. A glass of award-winning Wellhayes Sparkling Wine is uncorked beside the press, chocolates are sampled, and a traditional Devon cream tea closes the visit — all in roughly two hours.

History
Devon’s modern vineyards are part of an expanding English wine scene; producers here focus on cool-climate sparkling styles that respond to local soils and maritime weather.
Conservation
Small vineyards often manage hedgerows and cover crops to support pollinators and reduce erosion—visitors are asked to respect planted areas and follow footpaths.
