A privately run hillside vineyard in Tintern, with a farm shop, a self-guided walk round the vines and views of the Wye Valley from the top.
Parva Farm is a vineyard on a hillside just above the A466 in Tintern. The estate says some believe the slope was once a Roman vineyard, and that if not, it was almost certainly the site of Tintern Abbey's vineyards, because good south-facing sites are few and far between in this area. The evidence it points to is on the farm itself. There is a 'Roman style' spring in the vineyard, along with stone-built culverts and an old sunken way.
Cellar door tastings
The site describes no tasting, but the wines are sold in the small farm shop, and visitors can follow a self-guided walk round the vineyard marked by arrows and information boards. Visits outside the shop's hours are arranged by phone.

The drive is next to the Wye Valley Hotel's car park on the A466, and the vineyard is signposted from Tintern village. The driveway takes nothing larger than a medium-sized coach. Larger coaches set down on the main road, leaving a walk of about 100 yards up a fairly steep approach.
