At Hencote Vineyard in Shropshire, our winemaking philosophy begins among the vines. Each vine is carefully tended by hand, allowing the true character of our English wines to reflect the unique Shropshire terroir. By following a minimal pesticide programme and working in harmony with nature, we ensure our vineyard thrives sustainably, producing grapes of outstanding quality.
We’re proud to share the results of our passion and craftsmanship with every visitor. Join us for a vineyard or winery tour to see how our wines are made from grape to glass. Experience the authentic taste of Shropshire wine country at Hencote.
“We feel that to truly bring out the authentic characteristics of our grapes grown on our Shropshire soil we should handle each vine individually, so that every task that concerns the vines directly is done by hand. We really do feel that it contributes to the vine expressing its full potential and producing the highest quality crop possible.”

Our Story
Moulded by the glaciers of the Triassic Age, the land upon which the Hencote vineyard sits is rich with history and the glacial till that comprises our soil. With the first 18,000 vines planted in 2016, the Vineyard now comprises 23,000 vines and aims to consistently produce award-winning, international quality wines.
