Sunnybank Vineyard and Vine Nursery is a small, family-run wine estate nestled in the beautiful Wye Valley of Herefordshire, West England. Established in 2001, this charming vineyard spans 0.34 hectares of carefully tended vines and has built a loyal following for its approachable, small-batch English wines. The postcode HR2 0EE places Sunnybank in one of the most picturesque rural corners of the UK, where the mild Herefordshire climate and fertile soils create ideal conditions for cool-climate viticulture.
The vineyard cultivates three grape varieties that reflect both tradition and innovation in English winemaking. Seyval Blanc forms a reliable backbone for the estate's white wines, delivering crisp acidity and green fruit flavours that are hallmarks of successful English still wines. Triomphe contributes robust, full-bodied reds with rich berry character, while the intriguing Mad Angie variety adds an element of intrigue to the portfolio, showcasing the experimental spirit that smaller UK wineries often embrace. Together, these varieties enable Sunnybank to produce wines that are distinctly of Herefordshire.
Beyond wine production, Sunnybank Vineyard operates a dedicated vine nursery, offering grapevines and planting services to fellow growers and hobbyists across the UK. This dual identity as both a working winery and a specialist vine supplier positions Sunnybank as an important part of the Herefordshire wine community, contributing to the broader growth of English viticulture.

Orders are available via mailorder for delivery throughout the United Kingdom, making their bottles accessible to anyone seeking quality English wines sourced from a genuine working Herefordshire vineyard.
