Ok so you may not initially think of Wiltshire as an important wine and beer producing region however you’d be wrong…
Just outside Devizes you’ll find a’Beckett’s Vineyard which produces fine English sparkling and still wines, cider and apple juice. Close to Amesbury is Bluestone Vineyards, a family run business producing award winning Sparkling Wines with it's vines sharing the same bedrock as nearby Stonehenge.
In the heart of Wiltshire is the Wadworth Brewery famous for its 6X beer (plus many more), its traditional brewing techniques and its shire horses which still deliver its beer to local pubs.
You can go into the Visitor Centre for free or if you’d like to know more then why not go on one of their tours?* (* there is a charge for going on a tour).
Other Wiltshire breweries include: the Ramsbury Brewing and Distilling Company, the Box Steam Brewery in Trowbridge the Hop Back in Downton, Arkell’s in Swindon, The Keystone in Berwick St Leonard and Stonehenge Ales at Netheravon. Often you will find these beers and ales on sale in our local pubs.
There’s also Fonthill Glebe Wines produced at Teffont Evias, near Salisbury who also make an English grape brandy.
On the edge of Bradford on Avon is one of the only 6 vineyards in the UK to have organic status at Quoins Organic Vineyard.
On the Wiltshire borders you will find the Bombay Sapphire Distillery where you can discover the artistry behind Bombay Sapphire gin!
A perfect chance to sample our local produce is often at one of the Food & Drink Festivals taking place across the county. Look out for dates of forthcoming festivals on our what’s on pages.
