Bothy Vineyard celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2018 making it the oldest vineyard-winery in Oxfordshire.  After several years of being hit by late frosts, the vines came through this cold winter and spring with virtually no frost damage. Will this Spring be as kind to us.
​
Sian Liwicki of Bothy Vineyard said,“When the vineyard was first planted in 1978, those were pioneering days.  In the early years of the industry no one knew which grapes would do best in our climate and what the productivity would look like. The founders Dorothy and Roger Fisher, however, astutely found a site with 20 feet of sand, sheltered from the winds and in a relatively dry rain shadow. It has not always been easy but forty years on we are still here and producing excellent wines. We are celebrating the founder’s foresight and extending the tradition of wine making in the Vale of the White Horse for many more years!” ​
