Jabajak

Jabajak makes six wines, and its regular cellar door tastings offer the chance to sample them in style, and also to discover the fascinating link between its 'White House' wines and the White House in Washington DC. Meanwhile, The Smithy restaurant serves up regularly changing, seasonally inspired dishes. Jabajak's location, on the edge of west Wales' Preseli Hills, further enhances its appeal. jabajak.co.uk

Castlewood Vineyard

For a less traditional mode of accommodation, seek out the Bluebird Bus at Castlewood Vineyard in east Devon. A fully renovated former 1970s Canadian school bus sits within easy walking distance of the vineyards, with a remarkably comfortable, innovatively designed interior, and garden furniture, barbecue and fire pit. Two Grade II-listed stone holiday cottages are also on offer for guests seeking a more traditional stay. This low-intervention boutique vineyard creates some truly lovely wine too, showcased in Castlewood's summer tours and tastings, and celebrated at its annual wine festival. castlewoodvineyard.co.uk
