🍷 Discover the "Secret" Wine Cellars of Yorkshire! 🥂
Think you need to head to Tuscany for a world-class wine experience? Think again! Yorkshire is home to some of the most stunning—and sometimes hidden—wine cellars and vineyards in the UK. Whether you’re a collector looking for bespoke storage or a casual sipper seeking a unique day out, God’s Own County has you covered.
Here are a few local gems you need to check out:
Wine Cellars Of Yorkshire (Thirsk): Specialising in bespoke, handcrafted wine rooms and cellars. From sleek glass-walled displays in high-end restaurants to clever storage tucked under home staircases, they turn wine collections into architectural features.
--Dunesforde Vineyard (Upper Dunsforth): Inspired by the vineyards of Tuscany, this boutique spot features a "Roman-style" tasting barn and a terrace overlooking the vines. It's one of the most northerly vineyards in the UK and even has a Roman wine exhibition!
--Yorkshire Heart Vineyard & Brewery (Nun Monkton): A true family-run affair where you can enjoy "Cellar Door" tastings. They offer everything from award-winning sparkling wines to craft ales, all produced on-site.
--Ryedale Vineyards (Westow): Famous for their informal, humorous tours and tastings in a converted cow byre. It’s a rustic, welcoming experience paired perfectly with local Yorkshire cheeses.
