24 Sep ‘I never knew there was a vineyard this close to Sheffield’

That’s most people’s reaction when visiting Renishaw Hall Vineyard for the first time. Some have lived in the area their entire life and never discovered this hidden gem.

With the popularity of English wine soaring and more people keen to try local wine, English Wine Project has hosted record numbers of vineyard tours in 2026 and there will be even more running in 2027. There’s also been a significant increase in private tours with people keen to mark a celebration amongst the vines. 

Visitors love the back to nature experience with the opportunity to taste the wines as they sit under the stretch tent looking out over the beautiful vines.  

It’s been wonderful to welcome back returning visitors who are delighted to show off the stunning walled garden vineyard to their friends and family. 

English Wine Project, led by Kieron Atkinson, farms the land and makes the wines at his urban winery in Darley Abbey, meaning our small team can share the story from grape to glass.Whether you have wine knowledge or are simply curious to find out more about local wines, our relaxed vineyard tours with guided wine tastings are the perfect way to discover what is being produced on your doorstep. They also make the perfect gift experience with vouchers available.
