Map of the vineyards: ideal accompaniment for the wine enthusiast | What is it exactly?
It is an ideal accompaniment for the wine enthusiast, showing the location of 163 of the country’s leading vineyards.
The map includes:
· Cross-referenced listings by county
· Full contact details, with postcodes for easy location
· Websites and a brief description
· Colour coded vineyards for easy reference, identifying those that are open to visitors, not open and not yet in production
· At the back there’s a valuable at-a-glance background information, such as wine styles and grape varieties, and colourful advertisements from a selection of the featured vineyards outlining the many facilities that are now available.
Apart from being an essential tourist guide, the map is a useful educational and marketing tool for wine merchants and wine lecturers alike.
“We are delighted to offer such a useful and comprehensive visual guide for the English and Welsh wine industry,” commented Julia Trustram Eve of English Wine Producers (EWP), the marketing association for the UK wine industry.
“We have had so many requests for something illustrative on the industry from the trade, the press and above all consumers from both here and abroad, and now we can provide a useful tool to finding out more about vineyards in the UK. Now you can start planning your summer visits.”
Further information
It is supplied free of charge and will initially be distributed via the EWP website, vineyards and key tourist information offices. It will be officially launched at the EWP Trade and Press Tasting on April 23 in London.
