Many Welsh vineyards are small and family run, and some open only on set days or by appointment. Check the vineyard’s own page before you travel.

Questions people ask

Is Welsh wine the same as English wine?

No. Wine from grapes grown in Wales is Welsh wine, with its own protected names (Welsh Wine and Welsh Regional Wine). It is often grouped with English wine in industry figures, but it is a separate thing, made from a different mix of grapes. Our guide explains the difference.

Do I need to book to visit a Welsh vineyard?

For a guided tour, almost always. Some cellar doors and cafés take walk-ins on their open days, but many smaller vineyards open only by appointment, so check each one on the list.
