Keeping the
rural environment
alive.
This thousand year old farm consists of five hundred acres owned by the Sharpham Trust. The house, designed in 1770 by Sir Robert Taylor, overlooks the fields and wooded slopes above the River Dart, two miles downstream of the ancient market town of Totnes. Our aim today is to farm successfully in the modern context and to produce world class wine and cheese in harmony with the environment and the natural beauty of the Estate.
Sharpham Partnership is the trading name for the diversified activities run on the family estate. Situated on the banks of the River Dart near Totnes in South Devon, our vineyards, creamery and organic dairy farm have been producing wines and unpasteurised cheeses for over twenty years to local, national and international acclaim.
By producing our own Jersey cow’s milk on the farm and growing a range of carefully selected cool climate grapes varieties in the vineyard, we are in control of production from start to finish. The results are individual, hand made wines and cheeses which have a special character and flavour that relates to this unique position in the South Hams area of Devon.

A world of Fine English wines.
At the forefront of vine growing and wine making in the UK, Sharpham is widely recognised as producing some of England's most outstanding wines. We have been producing wine for nearly twenty five years. Our wines are stylish and offer intense fruit flavours and aromas, which are made from carefully selected grape varieties grown on both our own sheltered slopes overlooking the River Dart, and occasionally from other carefully selected vineyards across England. Traditional and new world techniques are employed resulting in a range of distinctive and carefully balanced wines. Our spectacular awards tally includes Regional, National and International medals.
Starting in 1981 the 18th century coachyard of Sharpham House was home to our creamery where our range of hand made cheeses were produced. Using the rich milk from our organically farmed Jersey cattle and vegetarian rennet, our unpasteurised cheeses have been so well received that demand now far exceeds supply.
Cheeses
In April 2003 we moved into our new purpose-built creamery sited next to the winery. The building is modern and bigger, however the team still employ the same traditional techniques and the cheeses will remain fully hand-produced and free of GM ingredients. Visitors are able to view the process through windows as part of your visit.
Tours
We are open to the public from March 1st until Christmas Eve: 10am – 5pm Monday to Saturday. We are closed on Sundays, except June, July & August, when we are open seven days a week.
