Lobb Vineyard - Boutique vineyard in North Devon

Lobb Vineyard is a boutique vineyard in North Devon situated in the beautiful hamlet of Lobb near Braunton

The vineyard is planted on south-west facing slopes with uninterrupted views over Braunton Burrows and the North Devon coast, a stones throw from the beaches of Saunton Sands, Croyde and Putsborough

Established in 2019, we have planted non-traditional red and white grape varieties to produce still and sparkling English wines

Grape Varieties

Solaris is a disease resistant white grape, which ripens earlier than almost any other wine grape. Producing good quality single variety still and sparkling wines, it is particularly well adapted to growing in cool climate regions

Rondo reliably ripens early and is also well regarded because it is highly resistant to diseases and produces good quality still and sparkling rose and full bodied, deep red wines
