Two Beacons Vineyard

This vineyard is open by appointment only. Contact them directly to arrange a visit.

The Colwall vineyard itself has no drop-in hours - visits are by booked Vineyard Tour & Tasting only. The vineyards separate Tasting Room (2 St Anns Road, Great Malvern, WR14 4RG) is open Fri-Sat 15:00-21:00 for wine by the glass/bottle.

Opening hours can change for private events - it's always worth checking the vineyard's website before you visit.

The main way to visit is the Vineyard Tour and Tasting, a 90-minute walk through the vines with the team behind the wine. It costs £30 per person, includes generous pours and a snack board, and dogs are welcome. Wellies or other appropriate footwear are essential, since it's a working vineyard, not a paved path.

The vineyard's Tasting Room is a separate spot, in the cellar under a bookshop at 2 St Ann's Road in the centre of Great Malvern. It's open Friday and Saturday, 3pm to 9pm, for wine by the glass or bottle alongside a savoury snack board, no booking needed. Private tastings and events, including birthdays, hen and stag dos, and corporate bookings, can be arranged directly through the vineyard's website.

Three wines come off this single plot: a Bacchus, a Pinot Noir Précoce, and a Sparkling Rosé Pinot Noir. Bacchus runs £14 to £16 a bottle across the 2022 to 2024 vintages, and Pinot Noir Précoce is £24 across 2021 to 2024.

All three picked up Silver at the 2026 Decanter World Wine Awards: the 2024 Pinot Noir Précoce scored 91 points, and the 2024 Bacchus and 2022 Late Release Sparkling Rosé Pinot Noir scored 90 each. The sparkling rosé, made from Pinot Noir, pours a pale pink with a fine mousse, strawberry, raspberry, and red apple skin on the nose, and a crisp, biscuity finish from its extra 12 months' lees ageing (£33 for the Late Release).

From Colwall train station, turn right into Walwyn Road, passing the Colwall Park Hotel. After 0.3 miles, turn left into Old Church Road, then take the second right into Mathon Road and follow it for 0.7 miles. Turn left into Fox Grove and follow the lane to the end. The vineyard entrance is straight ahead.

That route is for the vineyard itself in Colwall. If you're heading to the Tasting Room instead, that's a separate address in the centre of Great Malvern, not this walk.

Book train tickets in advance via Trainline.

The Malvern Hills start more or less at the vineyard's gate, with waymarked walking routes for anything from a short leg-stretch to a full ridge walk. Two Beacons is one of six vineyards in the informal Malvern Hills Vineyards group, and a few of the others are also on Vinebound: Coddington Vineyard in Herefordshire, Astley Vineyard in Worcestershire, and Three Choirs Vineyards and Foxbury Fields Vineyard, both over the county line in Gloucestershire.

The vineyard sits on Silurian limestone and calcareous mudstone, buried under a thick layer of glacial till left behind by the last ice age, somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 years ago. The result is a well-drained, nutrient-rich soil that the vines seem to like: over 16,000 have been planted so far, with another 12,000 going in for a 2027 harvest.

It's good for wildlife too. Whitethroats, blackcaps, and goldfinches nest nearby, swifts, swallows, and house martins pass through in summer, and the vineyard's wildflowers and white clover keep the local bees busy.
