Trevibban Mill is committed to sustainable viticulture, operating as an organically farmed estate that actively promotes biodiversity. They employ a low-intervention approach, working in harmony with nature, including practices like allowing sheep to graze in the vineyards and orchards, and using grape and apple pressing waste to feed local cows. Their Orion orange wine is specifically Soil Association certified organic.

The estate boasts an on-site winery, housed within a striking contemporary building. This allows them to manage every step of the winemaking process, from fruit production and making to bottling and labelling, all on-site, ensuring quality and control.
