Yearlstone Vineyard - Devon's Oldest Vineyard

Special Group Tours

If you're organising a trip for a group of at least 12 people - why not book a special group tour with us - a personal tour of the vineyard with the vineyard manager Roger White, full tasting of our delicious wines and a talk on winemaking by Plumpton College trained winemaker Juliet White. The tour and talk usually take about one to one and a half hours, and costs £7.50 per person.

Buffet lunches or suppers in the Terrace Café can be arranged to suit your group, from £10 per head. Talk to us about your special arrangements.

The perfect accompaniment to our tours is a meal in the light and airy vineyard view Terrace Café with fantastic views over the vineyard, the Exe valley and the River Exe winding its way to the sea far below. Closer at hand there are lovely picturesque views over the village at Bickleigh, with cricket on the green, the thatched pubs and the wonderful old bridge crossing the river Exe.

The terrace is a suntrap where you can pass away an hour or two sipping a glass of rosé, and nibbling on one of the cafe's famous light lunches, with its emphasis on the seasonal, the simple and the local.
