Astley Vineyard

Astley Vineyard

Discover historic vines through family-led tours and tastings that share regenerative farming, local heritage, and a commitment to community and biodiversity.

OUR EXPERIENCES

Astley is one of the UK's oldest vineyards, with vines on the Global Old Vine Registry. We offer small-group tours and tastings, hosted by the family. Visitors not only see the vineyard but also learn about the history and regenerative agriculture activities of the business.

ABOUT US
