Pebblebed Vineyards produces a range of high-quality English wines, including sparkling, still white, red, and rosé varieties. Their sparkling wines are crafted using the traditional Champagne method, involving bottle fermentation and aging on lees for a minimum of three years to develop complex characteristics. The vineyard prides itself on being one of the few 'single estate' producers in the UK, meaning their wines are made from grapes grown exclusively on their own land, allowing each vintage to reflect the unique flavours of that particular growing season.

Pebblebed wines have garnered numerous accolades in both local and national competitions. Most recently, at the Independent English Wine Awards 2024, they received a silver award for their 2020 Sparkling White and bronze awards for their 2018 Sparkling Rosé and 2020 Still White, highlighting their consistent quality.

The vineyard is committed to sustainable agriculture practices, with careful attention to encouraging wildlife and reducing environmental impact. They manage their vineyards with a focus on natural winemaking, using minimum additives to best express the unique Devon "terroir." The vineyard also boasts a modern on-site winery.
