Yorkshire

Once subjected to eyerolls, English wine has really been having a moment in recent years, so much so there’s now a whole week dedicated to celebrating the stuff. And what better way to raise a glass than to visit the places it’s grown. And before you start, no, you don’t have to make a trip to the balmy climes of the south to do so, as Yorkshire is quietly smashing the wine stakes it seems. Spread across the county, we’ve done the very difficult task (we know, but someone had to) of sipping our way through some of Yorkshires most delicious vineyards.&nbsp;Bottoms up!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ryedale-vineyards-westow-near-malton"><a href="https://www.ryedalevineyards.co.uk">Ryedale Vineyards, Westow, near Malton</a></h2>



Sip: Nestled at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, Ryedale is one of the northernmost commercial vineyards in England (and certainly in Yorkshire). Super relaxed, they offer a humorous and informal guided tour around their extensive vines and winery. Tours run from Easter until the end of harvest in late October.



Scoff: There’s nothing better than having a little scoff while you sip, which is why you’ll be thrilled to know that each visit to the winery ends in a sampling of their wines and ciders paired perfectly with local cheeses. There’s also the option to upgrade and kick things off with a pre-tour cream tea – why wouldn’t you? Those hungry for more will be pleased to know to know that Yorkshire’s food capital – Malton – is just 7 miles way.&nbsp;



Stay: Designated drivers rejoice! The vineyard boasts its own farmhouse which offers tipsy travellers B&amp;B on selected weekends. It books up fast, so plan ahead.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-holmfirth-vineyard-holmfirth"><a href="https://holmfirthvineyard.com">Holmfirth Vineyard, Holmfirth</a></h2>



Sip: It’s not just the too-easy-to-drink wine that will capture your heart, but&nbsp;that&nbsp;view will have you thinking you’ve knocked back one too many roses. Overlooking the Holme Valley, take a tour through the vines before savouring the view from inside the sleek, modern restaurant as you sip on three generous samples –&nbsp;hic. Find yourself totally smitten? You can even have your wedding here!&nbsp;



Scoff: A destination in itself, the Tasting Lounge restaurant serves up a hearty Yorkshire breakfast (perfect for sore heads that overindulged on a tasting), light lunch, traditional afternoon tea, and indulgent dinner. There’s the option to pair these up with a tour and tasting too.&nbsp;



Stay: Apartments offering one to three bedrooms are just a sozzled stumble away from the restaurant and vineyard – get it in the girl’s chat, pronto!

Sip: An Italian-style winery with wholesome Yorkshire roots – a match made in heaven, right?! Spread just over four acres, it may be more on the boutique side of vineyards, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm. Their Roman-style tasting barn is an Instagrammer’s dream.&nbsp;



Scoff: Tuck into an impressive sharing platter of Yorkshire meats and cheese in the wine bar which can be enjoyed alfresco on the dreamy terrace which sits directly next to the vines – see you there?

Sip: This family-run vineyard packs serious sustainability credentials, but also grows 12 different vines, including English wine’s signature grape – Bacchus – but it’s their sparkling wine that tickles our taste buds.&nbsp;



Scoff: Picnic amongst the vines, take afternoon tea in the grape reception, or tuck into some cheeses in the wine bar – the choice is yours.



Stay: No rooms, but the well-heeled market town of Beverley is less than a 20-minute taxi ride away where you can check into the lovely Beverley Arms.&nbsp;
