Award winning English wines
MADE IN SOMERSET
We are located in the heart of the beautiful Yeo Valley in Somerset, just outside Bristol.
Combining passion, sustainable agricultural practices and the latest viticultural techniques, we produce multi-award winning rosé and sparkling wines from our Regent and Seyval blanc grapes.
Dunleavy Vineyards were planted by owner and manager Ingrid Bates. Ingrid has a background in biology and, after a short stint working in the media, began her viticultural career 20 years ago when she took up a job maintaining a local vineyard. Having found her true vocation, she began planning and saving and finally planted her own vineyard in 2008 at the tender age of 28.

Crowdfunder campaign
In Autumn 2021 we ran a successful crowdfund campaign to raise funds to buy a field on the outskirts of Bristol where we will grow more grapes without chemicals and help us meet increasing demand for our wine. You can still donate and watch the video here…
A few years down the line, and after much hard work, Dunleavy Vineyards released their first wines in 2013. A busy few years followed and today you can find Dunleavy wines in some of the finest independent shops and restaurants across the UK.
