Leaving behind the land-locked Midlands, Holly & James moved to the island in 2020 to take on guardianship of this special site from Val and Graham Thomas who planted the first vines here in 1996.
On south-facing slopes, a stone's throw from the sea, lies St Martin's Vineyard - a unique coastal vineyard and winery working towards organic production of white, red and rose wines.
The vineyard is a haven for wildlife including rare arable flora, Scilly shrews and an thriving songbird population. After years of minimal inputs, we are taking the next step towards Organic certification in 2020.
The Isles of Scilly lie 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall - once you reach Land's End, simply keep going! St Martin's is one of the smaller inhabited islands boasting stunning sandy beaches, unique flora and wildlife, and outstanding local produce.
