About Limeburn, Dunleavy & L’affinage du Fromage Cheese & Wine Tasting

Limeburn Hill Vineyard is owned and cared for by Robin Snowdon and Georgina Harvey. The vineyard is farmed on Biodynamic principles as they want to work in a healthy landscape, rich in wildlife, which encourages the full expression of the spirit of the land and the fruit that is grown there.

Robin worked as an architect, landscape architect and lecturer before reconnecting with his childhood wish to be a farmer. His road to winemaking began at the age of 10 when he won first prize for his alcoholic ‘strawbilberry’ wine, even though his Mum had to accept the prize. Georgina worked in documentary-making for the BBC before a career change to landscape architecture, alongside the vineyard. The vineyard and its 18th century farmhouse has become her place to explore creativity and community.

Dunleavy Vineyards were planted by owner and manager Ingrid Bates. Ingrid has a background in biology and, after a short stint working in the media, began her viticultural career 20 years ago when she took up a job maintaining a local vineyard. Having found her true vocation, she began planning and saving and finally planted her own vineyard in 2008 at the tender age of 28.

Tickets are £35 and include six wines, six cheeses, bread, and a relaxed, informal atmosphere to kick back and relax.
