13 Welsh vineyards you can visit after lockdown

Pant Du Vineyard, Gwynedd

Moving north once more, Pant Du is located in the north west county of Gwynedd, virtually equidistant from Porthmadog and Caernarfon. The vineyard and orchard is planted on the slopes of the Nantlle Valley in the Snowdonia National Park.

The family-run business was established in 2007 by Richard and Iola Huws and also includes a restaurant and a shop. The restaurant serves afternoon tea and breakfast and brunch from Friday to Sunday. Guided tours of the vineyard are available to book, and like many Welsh vineyards, the site can be hired out for weddings.

The estate is planted with 9 acres of vines, and 18 acres of apple trees. The vineyard grows six different grape varieties including Seyval Blanc, Siegerrebe, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Frühburgunder and Rondo and makes white, rosé and red still wines.

Pant Du also produces three types of cider, three kinds of apple juice, bottled water, and honey.
