Beenleigh Manor Vineyard

Beenleigh Manor Vineyard is an intimate boutique vineyard located in South West England, specialising in red wine production using traditional Bordeaux varieties. This small-scale operation covers just 0.13 hectares but demonstrates the potential for quality red wine production in the English climate.

The vineyard grows Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, varieties more commonly associated with Bordeaux than the English countryside. This ambitious choice of varieties reflects a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in English viticulture, taking advantage of warming temperatures and favourable microclimates.

Beenleigh Manor produces still red wine, a relative rarity in the English wine scene which is dominated by sparkling and white wine production. The focus on red varieties offers wine enthusiasts something genuinely different from the typical English wine experience.

Visits are by appointment only, ensuring a personal and unhurried experience for those who make the journey. This intimate approach allows visitors to learn about the challenges and rewards of growing red wine varieties in England while tasting the results of this specialist production.
