We are a small, family run vineyard based between the beautiful Usk and Wye Valleys in Raglan, Monmouthshire. The Dell has been farmed by the Alford family for five generations and this is our diversification project.

In May 2022 we planted our main vineyard on the farm, with 5000 Pinot Noir and Solaris vines which produced their first grapes this year. We have then planted a further 3000 Souvignier Gris, Caberet Noir and Pinot meunière vines in spring 2024.

We also lease an established 20 year old vineyard nearby which is located close to the hamlet of Pen-Y-Clawdd. There are 1700 vines which cover an area just over an acre in size. There are several varieties planted including, Pinot Noir, Seyval Blanc and Phoenix.
