Welsh vineyards to visit

Wine made from grapes grown in Wales is Welsh wine, a category of its own. Most of the vineyards that take visitors are in Monmouthshire and the Vale of Glamorgan, with more in Pembrokeshire, Powys and the north.

Welsh wine in brief

  • Wines made from Welsh grapes can be certified as Welsh Wine PDO or Welsh Regional Wine PGI, after a laboratory test and a tasting panel. Our guide to Welsh wine explains the difference.
  • The biggest cluster open to visitors is in Monmouthshire, round Abergavenny and Raglan. The best known is Llanerch, in the Vale of Glamorgan.
  • Most open on set days only, so check the dates and book tours ahead.

For tours in England, see all our tours. For a few days in the area, our itinerary for a weekend of vineyards in south Wales plans it day by day. Details checked in October 2026.
