What's the vibe?

Stonepit Vineyard is a small boutique vineyard near Olney, producing its own English wines on a gently sloping site. The focus is on small-scale production and relaxed, seasonal visits, with opportunities to taste and enjoy wines beside the vines during organised open days.

Stonepit Vineyard is not open daily. Visits are primarily limited to specific Open Days held during the summer months. Open Days: Open Days typically take place in the summer, with dates announced in advance. On these days, visitors can taste wines, purchase glasses or bottles, and enjoy wine on site.

Stonepit Vineyard produces a range of boutique English wines, including still white, red, and rosé wines. From summer 2024, the range expanded to include sparkling wines. The white wine is made from Bacchus, the red from Regent, and the rosé from a blend of the two. Sparkling wines are also produced using these estate-grown grapes, including the Quartz Sparkling Bacchus. The vines are planted on a gently sloping, south-facing site over a limestone bed - a distinctive terroir for an English vineyard that lends minerality and structure to the wines. The vineyard has received Gold Medal recognition for both its white and rosé wines. The Quartz Sparkling Bacchus was awarded a Silver medal at the Midlands and North Annual Wine Tastings 2025. All wines are produced on site, with close oversight from grape growing through to bottling. John and Fiona planted the vineyard in April 2018, and the wines are available to buy via the online shop as well as at open days.

Stonepit Vineyard is located near Olney, MK46 5DN.
