Directions : The nearest village is Ewyas Harold not Rowlestone! Ewyas Harold is just off the A465 about halfway between Hereford and Abergavenny. From the A465 follow signs to Ewyas Harold and 'village centre'. Just before the fish & chip shop and level with the Temple Bar Inn turn left up the hill signposted 'Walterstone'. After c. 1 mile the road levels out and you will see a large barn on your left with a sign on the fence saying 'Cwm Barn'. Turn off left, over the cattle grid and down the drive. Follow signs for car parking.
APRIL 2010 - 13th April - the buds are now fattening up so we have finished sending out vines for this season. Cuttings have been taken so please do call back in November.
March 2010 - Plant Heritage awarded us with the Full National Collection status for Vitis Vinifera (outdoor) and Hybrids. It is great recognition for our progress in taking on the collection from Brian Edwards.
December 2009 - with the ground frozen it looks like vines won't be sent out again till the New Year. Winter pruning will then be in full swing. We would like to thank all our customers and wish visitors to our site a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2010 !
September 2009 - while waiting for the grapes to ripen we launched our new web site. We will keep it updated with what we are currently doing in the vineyard. The photo shows our latest bird scaring device next to some of the young experimental vines!
