About Looe Valley Vineyard
Nestled in the picturesque Looe Valley of Cornwall, Looe Valley Vineyard is a charming boutique winery that has been cultivating English wine since 2008. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cornwall's lush countryside, this family-run vineyard spans approximately 1.65 hectares of carefully tended vines that thrive in the county's unique maritime microclimate.
The vineyard is dedicated to producing quality English wines that reflect the character of the Cornish landscape. The plantings include aromatic Bacchus, a grape variety that excels in England's cooler climate and is known for producing crisp, aromatic white wines with distinctive notes of elderflower and citrus. Solaris, a disease-resistant variety bred specifically for cooler growing regions, also features prominently and contributes additional complexity and freshness to the estate's wine range.
Supporting varieties such as Precoce and Schönberger round out the planting programme, giving the winemaking team at Looe Valley Vineyard a versatile range of fruit to work with. These grapes allow the production of both single-varietal wines and carefully crafted blends that showcase the best of what the Looe Valley terroir has to offer.
Looe Valley Vineyard is open to the public, welcoming visitors who wish to explore the vineyard and learn about the winemaking process. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the vineyard rows, gaining insight into the annual cycle of the vines and the challenges and rewards of growing wine grapes in Cornwall. Tasting sessions offer the opportunity to sample the estate's current releases, pairing the wines with local produce where possible.
Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable day out in Cornwall, Looe Valley Vineyard provides a welcoming and informative experience set within one of England's most scenic wine regions.
