St Martin's Vineyard and Winery

We had such a lovely afternoon at the Vineyard, celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Holly welcomed us in the shop, and explained about the Vineyard, the tour and the tasting. We set off, and enjoyed learning about the history and management of the Vineyard, the grapes, and management for wildlife. It was all fascinating, and the views were absolutely beautiful! We had a lovely few minutes watching a family of young swallows lined up on a branch and being fed by their parents. We finished the tour and returned to Holly for our flight of wines to taste. They were beautifully and informatively presented, and were all really delicious and gorgeous colours as well! Thank you Holly and James, for a very special afternoon, and wishing you all the best for the future.

A very beautiful vineyard. There ethical approach to the winemaking is fantastic. I highly recommend the wine tasting experience. Great selection of wines, overall a delightful afternoon. I’ve visited a few vineyards across the world and this has got to be one of my favourites. It’s lovely to see a more natural vineyard with the long grasses and plant life that the nature is thriving off.

Fantastic visit at opening time on a Friday (free tour and talk). The vineyard is lovely and well signed in a lovely spot. The views from the top on the woodland walk are superb. Holly was a great host/owner. We paid for the tasting at the end and can recommend the wines. I also enjoyed a cold sparkling cider.

Agree with all previous comments on the location, wines, service etc - all lovely. What gets fewer mentions are the excellent beers produced on-site. Brewed in runs of just 150L, they are available on tap, in can and in bottle. Of particular note is the Innisvouls Amber - rich, full-bodied and malt-forward it’s a characterful ale worthy of your attention. On its own makes the trip out there worthwhile.

My partner and I went for a self-guided vineyard tour. The information about the vineyard and grapes were presented in a small but informative booklet which was well written and suited to the lay person. The vineyard location is quite impressive, extending up hill you can admire a beautiful view of both the vineyard and the clear sea beyond it. After the tour of the vineyard, you can enjoy a selection of four of the wines they are producing. Each wine is presented with a description of wine with some tasting notes although, I should add, Holly or James can talk you through each of the wines they produce and were happy to answer specific questions. For the price, we consider this tour and tasting to be good value for money as it was entertaining and informative. We wish James and Holly the best of luck.

Lovely walk around the vineyard followed by wine tasting and of course another glass of your favourite. Beautiful setting, very peaceful, highly recommend as a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Friendly welcome from the couple who reside and run the vineyard. Highly recommend the wine flight and tour. We opted for omitting the self-guided walking this time as it was our second visit. The wines didn’t disappoint - were as good as we remembered 2 years ago! We made this excursion a priority for our trip to Isles of Scilly as we enjoyed it so much last time and remembered the importance of finding the opening day and hours before we selected the day to visit st martins. Last trip we came on a day it was shut initially!! But didn’t make that mistake this time. Highly recommend a visit!

Super hospitality, comfortable- and plentiful seating, delicious wine and nibbles, fabulous atmosphere, beautiful surroundings.
