Located in a beautiful spot in Devon with vineyards that slope determinedly down to the river Dart, there's something tranquil and carefree about the Sharpham Estate. Part of a 500-acre farm owned by the Sharpham Trust, this area has been farmed for 1000 years. The vineyard has been here for 20 years and produces a range of still and sparkling wines. It sits happily alongside Sharpham's award-winning creamery – check out the working dairy through the viewing windows.
Rosie's Vineyard Café is a destination in its own right. Serving a selection of locally-sourced tasty dishes, service is weather dependent since all tables are outside, by the vines overlooking the river. Best to call beforehand if things look doubtful.
