If you would like to visit our vineyard and other nearby attractions (we are only 7 miles south west of Oxford, and one and a half miles from Abingdon) try www.visitoxford.org and also WhereCanWeGo.

We are members of the Thames and Chilterns Vineyard Association  which organises informative and enjoyable events for wine producers and vineyard owners in the region. The association also runs annual wine competitions and tours, many of their activities happily involve food, drink and socialising! In 2019 it is running the English Wine and Food Festival which will feature wines from 11 vineyards, local food, talks and walks and other entertainment, on 8 June.

We are also members of the WineGB of Wines of Great Britain is the national association for the English and Welsh wine industry. WineGB’s mission is to advance the multiple interests of all its members to establish Great Britain as one of the world’s great quality wine regions. It lobbies on behalf of its members, negotiates technical issues with Defra and Brussels, produces PR and publicity for the sector and develops quality standards.

The issues of local food and the environment are very much in the public eye nowadays. We are part of Good Food Oxford  which is a network for a healthier, fairer and more sustainable and tastier food system in Oxford. Bothy has also signed up as a Good Energy partner.

The Drinkaware website is a very useful one for checking on current advice on drinking - we believe that it is quality not quantity that counts.  

Rehab 4 Alcoholism provides a free helpline for people seeking drug & alcohol addiction treatment. Each year they save lives by assisting people through the treatment process.
