Red Wharf Bay Vineyard

Red Wharf Bay Vineyard is a delightfully unique micro-vineyard overlooking the stunning Red Wharf Bay on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. Named by BBC Countryfile as one of the ten best places to visit on Anglesey, this small vineyard offers an experience unlike any other in British winemaking.

Red Wharf Bay Vineyard: Site and Grape Varieties

The vineyard's story is one of perseverance and creativity. Owner Kevin first planted vines in his field overlooking the bay in 2010, initially with limited success. After considering moving his grape-growing ambitions to sunnier Andalucia in southern Spain, only to be thwarted by European agricultural policy, he returned to Anglesey with renewed determination and knowledge. The result is a Welsh vineyard with a delightful touch of Spain.

Growing primarily Rondo grapes, which are well-suited to the Welsh maritime climate, Red Wharf Bay produces distinctive wines that reflect both the challenging conditions and the owner's innovative approach. The vineyard opened to the public for tours and wine tastings in June 2018, offering visitors a truly memorable experience.

Visiting Red Wharf Bay Vineyard

What sets Red Wharf Bay apart is its fusion of Welsh and Spanish influences. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings accompanied by tapas, surrounded by ceramics that Kevin brought back from Spain. The combination of delicious wines, excellent food, and breathtaking views across the bay creates an atmosphere that has earned glowing reviews from visitors. This hidden gem offers an intimate, often humorous tour experience that showcases the trials and tribulations of viticulture in North Wales.
