Who we are
About the farm
We are three generations – Alan Calder, Fiona Smith and Tom Smith – running our small family boutique vineyard on the steep west-facing slope of Helme Edge near Meltham, in the foothills of the Pennines in West Yorkshire. It began as a hobby: in 2017 we planted 50 Solaris vines in the garden behind our home, and we have since added further fungus-resistant (PIWI) varieties, Cabernet Cortis and Rondo, which significantly reduces pesticide use. We make a traditional-method sparkling Solaris, a still Solaris white and a rosé, which we sell through our online shop. In spring 2025 we opened our tasting building, where we offer booked vineyard tours and tastings, optionally with a charcuterie plate or Yorkshire cheeses.

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.
