13 Welsh vineyards you can visit after lockdown

Jabajak Vineyard, Carmarthenshire

Foodie hotspot Jabajak is a vineyard and a restaurant with rooms. It takes its name from the initials of members of the Stuart-Robson family (Julian, Amanda, Buddug and Joanna, Alexandra and Katie), who bought what was then a rundown smallholding in 1998. Having worked abroad, the family returned to Wales in 2004 and opened the site as a hospitality business. The vineyard was planted in 2007 and wine is released under The White House label.

Planted with almost 2,000 Seyval, Phoenix, Rondo, Rheichenstiener, Huxelreber and Pinot Noir vines, the grapes are used to make wines including a still white and a blush sparkling.

Jabajak offers tours and tastings. Guests can also stay in one of eight bedrooms and make use of the restaurant facilities.
