Llanerch Vineyard

Llanerch Vineyard

Cariad wine is sold only through Llanerch's own restaurant and rooms, at this vineyard hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan.

In 1989, as Peter and Diane prepared to bottle their first vintage for their eldest daughter's wedding, they named it Cariad, Welsh for love — the name Llanerch's wine still carries. The land had been a working farm since before 1970, centred on a three-bedroom farmhouse on its original 22 acres.
