Glyndwr Vineyard, Vale of Glamorgan
From the picture, you may have guessed one of Glyndwr Vineyard’s unique selling points. The other is that it lays claim to being the oldest vineyard in Wales, having been established in 1979.
Founded by Richard and Susan Norris, the estate produces a range of Welsh wines including a vintage sparkling, red, white and rosé made from varieties including Seyval Blanc, Triomphe d’Alsace, Rondo, Regent, Pinot Noir and Reichensteiner. It also makes a brandy made from handpicked Seyval Blanc grapes that were distilled and then aged in oak barrels for four years.
Guests can tour the vineyard and can book one of two self-catered rooms in the grounds.
One for the animal lovers, the vineyard also has its own ‘menagerie’ of chickens, ducks, pheasants and llamas.
