Vineyards around Clevedon

It would be a pity to miss the experience of visiting the vineyards and wineries. Clevedon is rapidly developing a reputation for its exceptional wine and food. Its climate and fertile soil are the perfect components to grow grapes capable of producing full-flavoured red wines such as merlot. Award-winning Twilight Vineyards, just outside the village, is open throughout the summer season, Thursday to Sunday during Spring and Autumn, and every weekend throughout the year. It’s well worth a visit and Bruce and Joy always give you a very warm welcome.

You can drop into Vin Alto any day for wine and venison sales – and to sample their very own Limoncello! For the gourmet experience pre-book for the Vin Alto wine-tasting luncheon on Saturdays or Sundays.

The captivating Ness Valley, situated less than 10 minutes from Clevedon, is home to fou vineyards, all producing their own exclusive range of quality wines. The first of the Ness Valley vineyards is Arahura, the oldest vineyard in Clevedon, followed by Rannach, where Chris and Tony Morgan produce Merlot and Malbec and are more than happy to share the art of the wine making process with you. A little further on is Inverness Estate which produces its own award-winning wines. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, it is also home to the Rosepark Andalusian horse stud.

And last but not least is Villa Noortheim, set on four acres of rose covered gardens with a colonial villa, coach house and winery. Most of the vineyards can be viewed at weekends or by appointment. Ensure you allow enough time to relax and soak up the ambience whilst sipping a glass of your favourite wine.
