Where To See Vines growing in England and Visit Vineyards and distilleries

Six different grapes were planted on the sunny side of a back garden in England. Yes, England is growing grapes. Gewurztraminer is a German word meaning spicy, a dark skinned full flavoured grape.

England has many vineyards and wineries open to the public and producing wines which are sold in UK supermarkets and served in restaurants. Some are award winning wines. I immediately think of the Nyetimber brand and estate which means new wood.



My favourite visits include Denbies.




Wales also has wineries.
Scotland has whisky distilleries you can visit.

If you want to learn English as a second language, or Welsh or Irish, see Duolingo.
