Dunesforde Vineyard

Nestled in the Vale of York, Dunesforde is a four-acre, boutique vineyard established by the Townsend family. Working in harmony with the cool climate, our aim is to produce fruit of the highest quality to make distinctive, characterful English wines from our little northern outpost. Using inspiration drawn from the vineyards in Tuscany and the local Roman heritage, planting began near the family home in Upper Dunsforth, North Yorkshire in 2016. The land is now home to 6,500 vines of four varieties, all carefully selected because of their suitability to our location - Bacchus, Solaris, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Précoce. Four years on, in October 2019 we introduced our first harvest wines. Dunesforde is now open for tours and tastings Thurs-Sat and opens as a wine bar on Fridays and Saturdays.
