Great day. Relaxing, interesting, and a lovely setting. A hidden gem. Did not know this vineyard was in Bedford. Great wines!

Discover our wine
We aim to produce award-winning quality still white wines each year, supplemented by a sparkling blend when conditions favour.
Bacchus 2022
We only make Bacchus in the best years. Warden Abbey Bacchus 2022 follows our successful 2021, 2019 and 2015 vintages. The 2022 is considered even better than the recently sold out and very popular 2021 vintage.
The Nonconformist 2022
This vintage had a tiny production of only 950 bottles. It is a blend of Reichensteiner and Müller Thurgau grapes from vines that were first planted in 1986. The age of the vines adds to the complexity of the wine that we produce and as the name suggests each vintage is different and like John Bunyan does not conform to type.
Warden Abbey Brut 2019
The start of the palate is bright with a mix of citrus fruits. A pear and tropical fruit influence gives a sweet feel to the mid palate, nice depth of flavour with lime and apple at the back refreshing the long finish. Gentle, fine bubbles.

We had a lovely day at the vineyard picnic on Sunday – the volunteers were really friendly and helpful, it was great set up. It sparked my son’s interest in volunteering at the vineyard as well.
