Welsh vineyards to visit

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

Wales 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.
  • The biggest group of vineyards open to visitors is in Monmouthshire, around Abergavenny and Raglan, with Llanerch in the Vale of Glamorgan the best known.
  • Most open on set days only, so check before you travel and book tours ahead.
