What Can I Expect

Hear all about the successes and follies of being an Anglesey vineyard owner on these tours and tastings for two! Visit the charming Red Wharf Bay Vineyard and listen to the story of an extraordinary viticultural gem on the beautiful North Wales coast.

These fascinating tours are hosted by Kevin Mawdesley and last around two hours in total, with tastings included. A few years back, Kevin took early retirement and decided he wanted to grow his own grapes and make his own wine. How many of us have dreamt about the same thing, but just settled for buying a bottle from the supermarket shelf instead?

Well, Kevin decided to go for it. It's been a real journey, with Kevin's grape growing starting in Anglesey, taking him to Andalucia and then back to Anglesey, with (as Kevin himself admits) a massive learning curve along the way. The result is a delightful vineyard on the island of Anglesey overlooking the lovely Red Wharf Bay.

It's a truly lovely location for these vines, which are perched on the slopes of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Your tour will include a wander around the vines, to see how the Solaris and Rondo grape varieties that were specially chosen for cooler climates grow.

Then back in the wine garden overlooking the bay, nothing beats sipping on some of Kevin’s delicious wines, whilst you listen to his brilliant story. There have been ups and downs along the way, but he is now happily producing lovely Red Wharf Bay Vineyard bottles of wine in Anglesey. Inspiring stuff!
