After over forty years of volunteering, we have finally stopped our workparties

We could not have achieved all we have without the help of our enthusiastic band of friends and volunteers.  Over the years, the volunteers have helped us out with harvests and other tasks in the vineyard.  Ours is a band of locals with an enthusiasm for wine, working in the great outdoors, local food and conviviality.  Some of our volunteers have even been ambassadors for our vineyard.

Many of our tasks were full day events, with volunteers turning up at 9.30 am and finishing at about 4pm.  Sian provides teas, coffees, home made cakes and a three course meal, washed down with Bothy wines. Full training and instructions were provided, and health and safety were vital.
We would like to thank all our wonderful friends and volunteers who have given us so much through the years, and helped us make such spectacular wines.
