HEREFORDSHIRE wine lovers are being invited to an award-winning vineyard in the county for a series of free tours and tastings as part of English Wine Week celebrations next month (Saturday, June 15 to Sunday, June 23, 2024).

The events are being hosted by Foxbury Fields Vineyard on Saturday, June 15, Monday, June 17 and Friday, June 21 to raise awareness of regional wine producers and wine tourism.

The first 2024 ‘taste of Herefordshire’ tour will be on Saturday, June 15 from 4pm to 5.30pm. We’ll then host another event on Monday, June 17 from 6pm until 7.30pm and a third tour on Friday, June 21 from 4pm to 5.30pm.

Bromsberrow-based Foxbury Fields Vineyard is co-run by Heather Williamson. She says: “Every event takes place at our vineyard, nestled at the foot of the Malvern Hills. At the end of each tour, guests can try our award-winning classic vintage English Bacchus and our wonderfully perfumed Ortega wines.

“The vineyard is a five-to-10-minute walk from our farm, so if anyone has any walking difficulties, but would like to come along, please get in touch before booking and we can discuss accommodating your needs.”

This year English Wine Week runs from June 15 to June 23. Organised by WineGB, the industry body that works to promote wines from across the country.
