This list of wineries features a few of my favourites. To get the best out of them, don’t visit too many – two or three a day at most. Opening hours can vary and at some wineries, you may need to book. You can try before you buy and benefit from quantity discounts if they have them.

There's never been a better time to choose a favourite region and visit a winery or two.Īfter three top vintages (2019, 20), the shelves are groaning with delicious bottles.
