One of the oldest vineyards in Britain first planted in 1968 - Adgestone is set on a south facing slope in ten acres of outstanding natural beauty overlooked by Brading Down, just half a mile from Brading Roman Villa.

The Romans, it is believed, planted their vines on this site. It would be nice to think that Roman Gentry at their bacchanalian feasts drank wine grown on these same slopes some 2000 years ago.

We produce high quality award winning wines and in 1994 our wine was chosen for the dinner for H.M. Queen to celebrate the Anniversary of the D-Day Landings.

Tours of our cellars are very popular, discussing wine making through to bottling, with a generous tasting of all our wines afterwards!

There is a cafe which serves home made scones and cakes and some of the best cream teas on the Isle of Wight.
