Workshops & Courses

Welcome to Limeburn Hill

We are a Biodynamic vineyard growing eight varieties of vines across two beautiful fields in Somerset.

We ferment the grapes ourselves to make a range of still and sparkling natural wines and spirits that celebrate the spirit of place.

During spring, summer and autumn, we offer a range of wine tours and tastings, food events, workshops and online courses.

We hope this glimpse into vineyard life inspires you to visit.

Our natural wines and spirits

Every autumn we harvest the grapes and ferment the juice to make a range of delicious sparkling and still natural wines, dessert wines, and eau de vie spirits. Everything is done by hand from the grape picking to the design and hand-printing of the labels making every bottle unique.

Wines and spirits can be bought direct from the vineyard (on tours or by appointment) or in larger quantities from our online shop.

You can also buy from the restaurants, wine bars and shops listed under Stockists on the Community Page.

Visiting the vineyard

Our inspiration is this beautiful hillside landscape overlooking the Chew Valley in Somerset where the mists rise from the rivers and lakes, the sunsets are glorious and you can watch the weather coming in from the Mendip Hills.

We think of the vineyard as more than vines, being part of the wider landscape of ancient field patterns, hedgerows, venerable trees and springlines.

It is rich in life with wild flowers, orchids, butterflies, at least 63 species of birds, as well as badgers and foxes which help keep nature in balance.

We open the vineyard during the summer months for tours and tastings, private events and fire feasts. Visit Tours & Tastings and Events to book your tickets.

A Biodynamic approach

Biodynamic Agriculture is a holistic way of working which recognises that land has a spirit which responds to the influence of natural forces, whether that is microbial life, animal symbiosis, or lunar energy.

As growers, our focus is to encourage plant and soil health with teas, tisanes and special composts to grow a healthy crop of vines without artificial fertilisers and pesticides.

We actively support the growing biodynamic movement across UK vineyards, farms and gardens and provide accessible and practical information through our workshops and courses.

Find out more about Biodynamics in About Us, or follow the link to Events to book onto a workshop.

Our community

Collaborations

The vineyard and its products have proved a source of inspiration for a range of creative people - artists, photographers, musicians poets and chefs. We have some interesting projects incubating - of which more later.

If you have an idea for a collaboration please get in touch.

Volunteers

We are grateful to the volunteers who have come to find out what we are up to, and helped us in the vineyard and the winery. If you are interested in learning some new skills, in nature, please contact us. 

We are now official hosts for WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) and welcome summer guests.
