Born from a challenge to redefine how our family used our slice of Devon, we wanted to grow something unusual that we could all be proud of. With a love of wine and the land, we jumped feet first into the world of English wine. Who knew the edge of Dartmoor could be the perfect home for 5,000 vines!

The magic is starting. 🌱✨

Our Rondo rows are officially beginning to flower! These tiny, delicate blooms are the first critical step toward setting the fruit for vintage 2026. Our unique Rondo grapes feature dark red skin and flesh, which is exactly what gives our signature Rosé its bold, juicy color and bright berry flavors later on. Seeing them kick into life gets us incredibly excited for the season ahead! We're open all weekend 9-5pm for breakfast, seasonal lunches, and chilled glasses of wine in the sunshine.

The final preparations are underway. 🥂

Tomorrow, we finally reveal our 3rd vintage of this very limited release. Crafted from our favourite Madeleine Angevine grapes, it’s a wine that has evolved beautifully over the last five years—a true test of our craft and, we think, rather delicious.

This is a tiny batch, and if our last release is anything to go by, it won't be around for long. Want the head start? Join our Vine Club for free below to ensure you don't miss out when we go live tomorrow.

Lay the groundwork. 🔨🌱

While the kitchen team is resting today on Tuesday, the work out in the field never stops. We’re out in the rows installing the brand-new metal trellising posts for our latest block of Rondo vines!

Getting these perfectly lined up is hard work, but it’s the essential backbone that will support the canopy as it grows towards future Devon vintages.

We’re back open from 9am tomorrow! Tap the link in our bio to book your breakfast or lunch table for this week. 🔗https://links.aldervineyard.uk/kitchen

Summer in a bottle. ☀️🍇

Happy National Rosé Day! There is no better way to celebrate than with a perfectly chilled glass of our signature Rondo Rosé.

Thanks to our unique Rondo grapes, this isn't your average pale rosé. It has a beautiful, bold raspberry-red colour and packs a delicious punch of juicy strawberry and summer berries with a crisp, zingy finish.
Celebrate the weekend with us:

🍷 In the kitchen: We're open until 5pm. Come grab a table, order a platter, and let us pour you a glass overlooking Dartmoor.
🛒 At home: Bring the vineyard to your doorstep. Order online today for UK-wide delivery.

Want to spend your weekends working somewhere a little different? 🍇✨

We’re on the hunt for a new Kitchen Porter to join the team here at Alder Vineyard! If you’re looking for your first job, want to be part of a friendly, hard-working family team, and don't mind getting stuck in, we’d love to hear from you.

The role is all about keeping our kitchen running smoothly (you’ll be our dishwashing hero!) and helping us keep things spotless during our busy weekend services. It’s the perfect way to earn some money, learn how a professional kitchen works, and be part of the magic behind the scenes.

The bits you need to know:
- You’ll be working weekends (plus the odd weekday if you can!).
- You need your own transport to get to us here on the edge of Dartmoor.
- No experience? No problem—we’re more interested in your attitude and willingness to learn.

You’ll be part of a great team, get to see what goes into our English wine, and enjoy a really unique working environment.

Lunch is served. 🥖🔥 If you’re looking for the ultimate weekday treat, this is it.
Pan-fried pork fillet and sweet red peppers, pan-seared in sage butter. Served on our toasted 40-hour fermented sourdough over house-made smoky Romesco, finished with pickled red onions and toasted almonds. It’s the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and smoky.

Settle into the kitchen, take in the Dartmoor views, and pair it with a chilled glass of wine. Lunch is served 12–3pm.

We have some huge news, and we are absolutely over the moon! 🥂🥉

Our Madeleine 2023 has just been awarded a Bronze Medal at the Independent English Wine Awards (IEWA) during their biggest competition to date! To have our homegrown wine tasted blind by top industry professionals and described as "characterful and expressive" with lovely upfront notes of "citrus, peach, and orange zest" is incredibly humbling. They loved its "moments of charm and individuality."
As a small, family-run vineyard, validation like this means the world to us. It shows we’re on the right track and gives us so much motivation as we work out in the rows on our future vintages!

A massive thank you to the IEWA judges, and to everyone who has ever shared a bottle of this with us in the kitchen.
