Bow in the Cloud is a small family vineyard at Noah's Ark, near Malmesbury, still growing some of its original 1992 vines on limestone soil like Champagne's.
Bow in the Cloud stands in the hamlet of Noah's Ark, named after the man who built the house there centuries ago. In 1982, readers of the Sunday Times columnist Godfrey Smith, a local, were set the challenge of renaming the house, and the same readers later helped choose names for the vineyard's wines too, continuing an unplanned biblical theme.
Cellar door tastings
Not usually open to the public, but a guided wander through the old vines with a tasting runs on selected Sunday afternoons, spring to autumn, and bespoke visits can be arranged for larger groups.
