Three ChoirsVineyards

Wine retailer Alan McKechnie planted the first vines on this fruit farm outside Newent in 1973, with the first vintage following in 1976. John Oldacre bought the business in 1984, renamed it after the Three Choirs Festival, and built the current winery and visitor centre in 1990, later adding vineyard-view bedrooms. It is among England's longest continuously producing vineyards.
