About Avalon Vineyard

Avalon Vineyard stands as a distinguished organic winery nestled in the beautiful Somerset countryside, part of the West Country region of England. Established in 1981, this vineyard has cultivated over four decades of winemaking expertise on its compact 1.73 hectare planting. The winery specializes in producing high quality English wines that reflect both the unique terroir of Somerset and a deep commitment to organic viticulture practices.

The vineyard cultivates three distinctive grape varieties that have proven well suited to the English climate. Orion, a hybrid grape variety, contributes its own character to the wines produced at Avalon. Seyval Blanc, a versatile French American hybrid, thrives in the cooler conditions of South West England and forms a significant part of the vineyard's production. Triomphe, another hybrid variety, adds to the diversity of wines crafted at this Somerset property. Together these grapes enable Avalon Vineyard to produce wines that capture the essence of Somerset's rural landscape.
