Shotley Vineyard

Shotley Vineyard

Shotley Vineyard sits at the tip of the Shotley peninsula in Suffolk, where the Orwell and Stour estuaries meet, with a tasting barn, a café and a wedding venue among the vines.

Charlotte Davitt-Mills and her husband bought the four-acre vineyard in 2017 and released their first vintage in June 2020; between them they now also manage sixteen acres of vines in neighbouring vineyards. The site sits at the tip of the Shotley peninsula, where the Orwell and Stour meet before opening to the sea, within walking distance of the passenger ferry from Harwich.
