Knightor Winery

Knightor is a Cornish winery and wedding venue above St Austell Bay, making still and sparkling wine — and English vermouth — from two coastal vineyards.

Knightor is a working winery on an old farmstead above St Austell Bay, and also operates as a wedding venue. Its grapes come from two vineyards on the south Cornish coast: Seaton, near Looe, planted in 2006 with around 7,000 vines, and Portscatho, on the Roseland, planted a year later with about 10,000. Between the two sites the vines run to 10 varieties, from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Riesling.
