What's the vibe?

Calancombe Estate offers a relaxed but polished experience in the South Devon countryside, combining vineyards, gardens, and food in a setting designed to be enjoyed at an unhurried pace. It feels welcoming and well thought-through, with as much emphasis on eating and spending time on the estate as on the wines themselves.

Booking Your Visit We recommend booking in advance to ensure you get the experience you're after. This helps us prepare properly and means you won't be disappointed. What to Expect Our Grand Tour begins at 11am, with the winery session starting at noon and lasting approximately two hours or more. If you'd prefer our Gin School experience, allow around three hours for that. Private Hire We're available for corporate events, private parties, family gatherings, office meetings and Christmas parties. We can accommodate up to 50 people. Full restaurant hire is available, along with smaller private dining rooms where our expert chefs can prepare tailored menus to suit your needs. Your event can be combined with vineyard tours and tastings, or we can arrange private conference facilities. Families and Dogs Children are welcome here, and we're happy to have well-behaved dogs with you during your visit. Facilities We have a restaurant on site where you can enjoy food and drink, a gift shop stocked with our wines and other items, and ample parking for visitors. When We're Open We operate during the spring and summer season from 18th April through the autumn. The Grand Tour runs from April through to the end of September. We're closed during the winter months.

Calancombe Estate produces a range of English wines grown exclusively on the estate, including sparkling white and rosé, still white wines, and still red wines in favourable vintages. Grape varieties include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Bacchus, Madeleine Angevine, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir Précoce.

In addition to wine, the estate produces sparkling cyder and cassis from estate-grown fruit, alongside Dartmouth English Gin and Dartmouth Navy Strength Gin.

Their wines have received national recognition, including silver medals at WineGB and the Independent English Wine Awards. Winemaking takes place in a modern on-site winery, with full control from harvest through to bottling. While not certified organic or regenerative, the estate places a strong emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity, incorporating solar power, composting, and mixed planting to avoid monoculture.

By Car: Calancombe Estate is located near Modbury in South Devon, a short distance from the A38. On-site parking is available. Due to narrow local lanes, specific approach and exit routes are recommended when visiting.

By Public Transport: Ivybridge is the nearest mainline railway station. From there, Modbury can be reached by bus or taxi, with onward travel to the estate by taxi recommended.
