Brightwell Vineyard is one mile from Wallingford and 8 miles from the city of Oxford, abutting the south side of the River Thames. The flinty chalk greensand and gravel of the Thames Valley region provides ideal grapevine soil, while the upper Thames Valley bowl is sheltered by surrounding hills. The Vineyard grows 10 different grape varieties and the on-site winery now produces 9 different wines, which have won many International awards and are exported to 3 countries. Brightwell also produces an Internationally acclaimed Brandy. The Vineyard is open for sales every weekend throughout the year, and conducts vineyard tours and wine tastings, by appointment, from May to end September. Wines are sold direct from vineyard and by mail order. They are also available in a range of independent shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Find us at www.brightwellvineyard.co.uk.
