Dunleavy is a Somerset vineyard at Wrington in the Yeo Valley, making rosé and sparkling wine from Regent and Seyval blanc, with vineyard tours in summer.
Ingrid Bates, who owns and manages Dunleavy Vineyards, has a background in biology. After a short stint in the media she took a job maintaining a local vineyard, and in 2008 she planted her own. Dunleavy is based at Wrington, in the Yeo Valley just outside Bristol. Its rosé and sparkling wines are made from its Regent and Seyval blanc grapes, and it released its first wines in 2013.
