Oxfordshire’s largest vineyard

Brightwell Vineyard produces award-winning, quality English wines which frequently win medals at National and International competitions.

The 14-acre vineyard is situated 1 mile north of Wallingford and 8 miles south of the city of Oxford abutting the south side of the River Thames in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and produces white, rosé, red and sparkling wines.

Wines sales and tastings are available from Brightwell Vineyard’s on-site Wine Shop, open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12 – 6pm, and at other times by arrangement. Group wine tastings and vineyard tours are available by appointment.

Brightwell Vineyard grows seven grape varieties planted on the flinty chalk greensand and gravel of the Thames Valley, producing white, rosé, red and sparkling wines. Our Wine Shop is situated to the right of the driveway on entry through the wall into the estate. It is open for tasting and sales every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12.00 - 18.00.

Would you like to join in the grape harvest? We pick on up to 12 days over a 4 week period in October. It is a lovely day out for all ages. If you are interested in taking part in the harvest, please contact us via our website - see the link at the bottom of this page.

We are open for tours and tastings throughout the summer. Guests are guided through the vines and can explore the woodland and lakeside followed by a tasting of five estate wines. A one hour guided tour and one hour tasting of five wines costs £7.50 each for a minimum of ten people.
