Jackie from Terlingham Vineyard
The boutique vineyard making award-winning wines and gin.
Terlingham Vineyard is a boutique, natural vineyard making unique, award-winning wines and gin. They moved over to natural farming over 8 years ago. This means they don’t use any artificial pesticides, fertilisers, or herbicides. They encourage the natural wild grasses and flowers that grow amongst the vines, and welcome the bees, butterflies and spiders that accompany them! They do everything in the vineyard themselves, by hand, and make their wines in a traditional, low intervention way. The farm also has an ancient woodland running along the east boundary, which is a local sanctuary for biodiversity, homing several rare and indigenous species. The vineyard has been in organic conversion since 2022 and will be fully certified by 2025.
