Smith & Evans is a small Somerset vineyard on limestone slopes near Langport, open on Saturdays for walk-in tastings, with guided vineyard tours by prior booking.
Smith & Evans planted Higher Plot Farm's vineyard in 2008, after a four-year search for a site with the right soil for sparkling wine. It sits on White Lias Limestone above calcareous clay and loam, well drained and south-facing, between 22 and 27 metres above sea level. Burgundian Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier vines went in, and the first harvest followed in 2010.
Cellar door tastings
Saturdays, visitors are free to walk the vines with an information sheet before tasting in the tasting room. Larger private tours, led by owner Guy Smith, run by prior email booking from April to September for six to fourteen people.
