The Wine

Secret Valley Vineyard cultivates five distinct grape varieties across its six acres: Reichensteiner, Orion, Solaris, Pinot Noir, and Rondo. These grapes thrive in the well-drained red sandstone and sandy loamy soils of the Somerset hills and are hand-picked at harvest. From these varieties, the vineyard produces a range of English wines, including Sparkling, Rosé, White, and Red wines.

While the glamping site has received accolades as an "award-winning farm site," specific awards for Secret Valley's wines were not detailed in the available information.

The vineyard is part of an organic farm that operates holistically, utilizing traditional farming methods that avoid synthetic fertilisers and pesticides for their beef and chicken enterprises. This commitment to working with nature underpins their overall approach to land management, fostering a healthy environment for the vines. Secret Valley Vineyard produces its own wine, reflecting the unique terroir of its Somerset location.
