Who we are
About the farm
As the Townsend family we planted our four-acre (about 1.6 ha) vineyard in 2016 at Upper Dunsforth in the Vale of York, one of the most northerly vineyards in the UK. On 6,000 vines we grow Bacchus, Solaris, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Précoce, and our partners at Halfpenny Green Wine Estate turn our grapes into traditional-method sparkling and still wines. We welcome guests at our cellar door, wine bar and terrace and on pre-booked vineyard tours and tastings, and we also sell our wines online (free local delivery within five miles).

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
