If this is a new endeavour for you, we’re here to make it work. The first step is to submit an outline of the land you think is suitable for viticulture –to do this please get in touch with us. Once we have completed some preliminary work in the office, we will conduct a visual site assessment with you.

If everything looks positive, the next step is for us to undertake a detailed site evaluation, determining soil type, aspect, climatic conditions and so on. From this a viticultural suitability report is generated, giving you all the information you require to make the best decisions for your venture, whether you wish to specialise in still or sparkling wine, produce the wine yourself or become a contract grower. The survey allows us to recommend the varietals to grow and ripen successfully in your field. We will guide you every step of the way – no question is too simple or silly to ask.

VineWorks can design and build your vineyard, sourcing everything you need from the plants to the people who will put it all together. We will guide you through the necessary preparations required prior to planting, including liaising with an agronomist who will analyse your soil results and recommend any nutrient adjustments. We will calculate your desired planting density and trellising system based on your end objectives. We project manage everything and communicate with you regularly, so you’ll always know what’s going on.

We will plant your vineyard using our own Global Positioning System (GPS) guided planting machines. GPS planting allows us to precisely plant the field to an agreed specification and vine density ensuring uniform rows and the maximum area utilised.

In addition to having our own UK-based planting machine and team, we also work closely with experienced planting partners from Germany. Their knowledge of planting across Europe and fleet of planting machines means that the risk of stoppage from breakdowns and delays is significantly reduced.

VineWorks is one of the UK's first certified vine importers, ensuring our vines are registered and receive approved plant passports.

We have built long-standing relationships with vine nurseries in Europe and our team works tirelessly to source the exact grape varieties - clones and rootstocks - you wish to plant including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Bacchus, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc and others.  We obtain the perfect grape vines for your individual needs.

As the UK’s premier installer of vineyard trellising, we operate all of our own installation equipment with our dedicated trellising teams, some of whom have been with us for nearly a decade.

We are experts in installing all types of trellis systems, in any configuration necessary, working in all ground conditions.

The materials we use are trusted throughout the English wine industry, and can stand up to the challenging British weather. We source all of our materials from established suppliers, many based here in the UK, that we know and trust.
