We had a fantastic afternoon at Adgestone vineyard. The hosts were welcoming and friendly and the tour was great. The wine was beautiful and delicate, we are looking forward to drinking the ones we purchased at a very reasonable price. We had the sharing platter for lunch which was very nice and would highly recommend it. Looking forward to a weekend's b&b in the summer to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

So we really know how to taste wine now!

Set on a tranquil hillside this vineyard experience was one of the best we have experienced. With headphones and an electronic guide, you wonder around the vines, learning about the history of the vineyard and wine and the different types they grow on site. Make sure you stop and take in the view at the top of the vineyard, down across the hillside and out towards the bay of Sandown. Whilst we were there the sun beat down on us and it was truly lovely!

Once your walking tour in the vines is over, you venture down into the cellar where the process of wine making is explained to you. Afterwards, learn how to taste wine correctly and taste all the different wines from a dry white to a full bodied red! Make sure you try the red wine and chilli infusion to warm you up on a colder day! We decided to have a bite to eat and we can sincerely recommend the sharing platter for £14.95 and a glass of wine.

We will definitely be back and the teams hospitality is second to none! Well done guys, a real gem on the Isle of Wight!

PS. don't forget to buy some really nice wine!

About Winery and Wines

It is thought the Romans were growing vines here on our slopes some 2000 years ago. During the winter of 2013, we planted 120 vines at the Brading Roman Villa, just 200m down the road to re-join our ancient ties. Of course, English-Wines of that era tasted quite differently and it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that a few pioneering gents changed history. One of them, Mr Ken Barlow searched the south coast for the "perfect vine growing location", and so began Adgestone Vineyard in 1968. The chalky south facing slopes and almost frost free microclimate makes for an advantage seen in very few English counties. Coupled to that the 6 purpose built subterranean cellars maintaining a steady 11oC, it all makes for an environment where the vines can grow without using insecticides, the juice can ferment and the wine can mature naturally without additives or hi-tech chemistry.
