Devon vineyard, distillery and brewery tours
Devon is home to a selection of vineyards, wineries, distilleries and breweries from the award-winning to the small independent family run businesses. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just appreciate a good quality glass of red, Devon’s vineyards are worth exploring - either by yourself or as part of a guided (and chauffeured!) wine tour. Did you know that Devon wine has won international awards? Devon has long been known for its excellent cider and beer, but fewer people know that it produces excellent whites and even roses and reds too.
