About Stonepit Vineyard

Stonepit Vineyard is a charming English wine producer nestled in the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside within the Thames and Chilterns region. Established in 2018, this boutique vineyard has developed into a delightful destination for wine enthusiasts seeking authentic UK vineyard experiences. Despite its modest size of 0.49 hectares, Stonepit Vineyard demonstrates that exceptional English wines can emerge from smaller, carefully managed plantings.

The vineyard specialises in cultivating three distinctive grape varieties that thrive in the English climate. Bacchus grapes produce aromatic white wines with notes reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, offering refreshing acidity and vibrant fruit character. Regent contributes rich red wines with deep colour and robust tannins, while Rondo adds versatility to the portfolio with its reliable ripening capabilities in cooler conditions. This thoughtful selection of varieties enables Stonepit Vineyard to craft wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of Buckinghamshire.
