Plan a trip
Short trips to the wine regions beyond the south-east, day by day: which vineyards to visit and when they open, what to book ahead, where to eat and where to stay.
Cornwall’s vineyards open on different days, so this route starts on a Friday at Camel Valley, which is closed at weekends, and finishes on Saturday above Mount’s Bay. If you have a midweek day to spare, a fourth vineyard waits on St Martin’s in the Isles of Scilly.
See the itinerarySpend a Friday in the southern Cotswolds around Stroud and Cirencester, then cross into the Herefordshire borders for a Saturday of vineyards around Ledbury and Newent. The days are set by when each vineyard opens, so the order matters.
See the itineraryThis route follows the coast east from Budleigh Salterton in Devon to the Bride Valley in west Dorset, with four wine stops that open on Fridays and Saturdays. Plan it for a Friday and Saturday between May and September, when every tour is running.
See the itineraryWelsh vineyards are spread across the whole country, but Monmouthshire and the Vale of Glamorgan have enough of them, close enough together, for a proper weekend. This plan spends a Saturday around Abergavenny and Raglan and a Sunday near Cowbridge.
See the itineraryThis trip crosses Suffolk from west to east, starting in the quiet country between Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury and finishing in the Waveney Valley on the Norfolk border. It is planned for a Friday and Saturday, because that is when all five vineyards are open together.
See the itineraryYorkshire’s vineyards sit in two clusters: on the edge of the Wolds in East Yorkshire, and in the Vale of York between York and Harrogate. This plan spends a Friday in the east and a Saturday around York, because that is when the cellar doors are open.
