Murmur y Môr

What's the vibe?

Nestled above Tremadog Bay within the stunning Snowdonia National Park, Murmur y Môr, meaning "Whispers of the Sea," offers a truly serene and picturesque setting for viticulture. This vineyard embodies a passionate commitment to Welsh winemaking in a beautiful, natural landscape.

Tours and Tastings: Murmur y Môr is working towards opening for regular tours and tastings. When ready, bookings will be taken via their tours and tastings page. Check the website for the latest availability.

On-site Winery: An on-site winery is set to open in 2025, bringing the full winemaking process - from grape to bottle - onto the estate.

Murmur y Môr cultivates grapes to produce both still white and sparkling white wines. The vineyard has planted approximately 1,300 vines across five different varietals, including Seyval Blanc, Solaris, and Pinot Gris. A further 1,700 vines and three more varietals are planned for planting in 2026.

The vineyard embraces sustainable viticultural practices, utilizing disease-resistant hybrid grape varieties like Seyval Blanc and Solaris, which are well-suited to the Welsh climate. This approach reduces the need for extensive agrochemical treatments, contributing to soil health and overall environmental sustainability.

An on-site winery is scheduled to open its doors in 2025, allowing Murmur y Môr to manage the entire winemaking process from grape to bottle. While Welsh wines, in general, are gaining recognition and some parallel award-winning European sparkling wines, Murmur y Môr has not yet announced specific awards for their own wines as they are still in the early stages of production.
