TOURS WILL BE BACK May 2026
WELCOME. Winding Wood Vineyard is a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard that produces English sparkling wine. We are ‘boutique’ in the sense that we have just two small fields of vines. However, we think small can be beautiful. We take infinite care over each and every vine. The wines have won many medals over the years and in 2024 we were thrilled to be awarded the top trophy at two national wine competitions.
THE VINEYARD. Our tour typically kicks off in the yard of what was an ancient farmstead dating back to Anglo Saxon times. After a brief history of farm and the vineyard, which was planted in 2012, we take a short walk to inspect the vines, taking in what stage we are at in the growing season; how we are preparing for harvest, and discussions of biodynamic and organic viticulture versus conventional grape growing.
THE TASTING ROOM. This forms part of a beautiful oak-framed 18th century threshing barn overlooking the vineyard. Whilst sampling our three cuvées, we explain the various stages of winemaking: from harvest to the Traditional Method used at our winery in Salisbury. The Tasting Room is furnished with various display boards, diagrams, and samples of our biodynamic applications, culminating in a multisensory experience.
GROUP TOURS AND TASTINGS
These run on Saturday afternoons (as per the calendar below) during the summer months, May to October.
