Brightwell Vineyard

Brightwell Vineyard adjoins the south side of the River Thames, 1 mile north of the historic town of Wallingford and 8 miles south of the city of Oxford. The flinty chalk greensand and gravel of the Thames Valley provides ideal grapevine soil, while the region is sheltered by the surrounding hills of the Chilterns, North Downs and Cotswolds making it one of the warmest and driest areas of the UK in summer. The vineyard produces white, rosé, red and sparkling wines which frequently win medals in Regional, National and International competitions. It also produces one of the first English Brandy's.
