Among Devon's green rolling hills are lush vineyards, bursting with grapes that are made into award-winning whites, reds, rosés and fizzies. There are nine vineyards on the trail, producing a variety of different wines.
Drop into Yearlstone Vineyard in Mid Devon close to the famous C18th Bickleigh Mill and have a bite to eat while sampling fantastic wines. Head across to the ancient monastic Crediton to Down St Mary Vineyard for a fizz that is every bit as classy as Champagne. To the east are the small vineyards of Willhayne and Highcroft also producing very good wines. Near Exeter is Manstree Vineyard where you can pick up a bottle of great wine and in season pick your own soft fruit.
