Cwm Deri Estate

The Cwm Deri Estate spans 25 acres and contains 3000 hand planted vines by its previous owners from 1990-1991, which took over three years to be able to support their first small crop of grapes. Current owners, Mike and Danny bought the vineyard in 2003 and have renovated the area and properties considerably resulting in the semi-automated production plant that it is today, capable of bottling 50,000 bottles produced on the estate each year.

Cwm Deri Estate

Cwm Deri Estate is not only a working vineyard but also as Danny is a trained chef, there is a restaurant, which offers snacks, lunches, and a full evening menu as well as a lovely terrace space overlooking the vines.

You can even stay at the estate, either camping, in a cottage or in one of the cute shepherd’s huts close to the vegetable garden.

Wine Tasting Experience

There are 22 products in total to sample (each 20ml) in the full tasting experience ranges from white, red, meads, fruit, cream liqueurs, rum and gin-based liqueurs plus two non-alcoholic options.

The vineyard do a lovely cheeseboard of three local cheeses with crackers and grapes, which go well with their wines. A hard cheese, a brie and a mellow blue cheese accompanied with a chutney. These help to bring out the flavours of the wines and compliment the varieties really well.

Be-lavie Tip: If you plan to do the full 22 product wine tasting then please ensure there is a designated driver or you get a taxi/hire a driver. The 22 product tray equates to 440mls which is almost 2 250ml (large glasses) or around 3.5 150ml (small glasses).

The Grapes

Grapes used at Cwm Deri Vineyard are not as well-known as many varieties however they are ideal for the welsh climate and produce great fruity wines, with its location being 100 feet above sea level, planted north to south on a gently south facing slope.

Walking down vines

The white vines ‘Madeleine d’Angevine’ and ‘Seyval Blanc’ with the estates red grapes being ‘Triomph d’Alsace and  â€˜Rondo’.

Cwm Deri grapes

Cwm Deri also produces ‘Y Ddraig Wen’, the estate’s Reserve Sparking Wine, which are seasonally available. All year round though, Cwm Deri produce a fine range of fruit wines and liqueurs, requiring a smaller quantity of grapes but more fruit, berries, and flowers.

How the vineyard changes over the seasons:

  • Winter/Early Spring: The vines are dormant and appear to be dead.
  • Late Spring/ early Summer  Leaf burst is quickly followed by the appearance of thousands of tiny clusters of grapes.
  • Summer/Late Autumn: The fruit can be seen maturing into tightly-packed bunches of wine-making grapes ready for harvesting in late Autumn before the first Winter frosts.

The Woodland & Vineyard WalkT

Pre or post the wine tasting experience, the woodland and vineyard walk is a stunning way to take in the surrounding Estate. You can get up close and personal to the vines to see the grapes, walk around the vegetable garden, the woods and spot the chickens roaming around their corner of the estate. There is a pets corner to keep children entertained too.
