Wake up surrounded by vines at one of England’s oldest commercial vineyards. Your stay includes two places on our sell-out vineyard tour and wine tasting
Astley Vineyard has been making wine since 1971. Our vines are so old they’re listed on the Global Old Vine Registry. We’re a family-run, single-estate vineyard making minimal-intervention wines from six grape varieties, best known for our Kerner.
