Calancombe is a vineyard, winery and restaurant in a South Hams valley, making still and sparkling wine, cyder and cassis from fruit grown on the estate.
Caroline and Lance Whitehead bought Calancombe in 2012. The estate lies in a valley in the South Hams, between Dartmoor and the coast, and its origins go back to the 16th century. The first vines went in that same year, and the first harvest came in 2017.
