At Thurlestone Hotel in South Devon, we love celebrating local producers who share our passion for quality, heritage and exceptional experiences. We are delighted to highlight Sandridge Barton Vineyard, a fellow family-owned business with deep roots in Devon and a reputation for producing some of the finest English wines in the region.

Like Thurlestone Hotel, Sandridge Barton has grown through generations with a strong sense of place, craftsmanship and hospitality. Both businesses take pride in offering unique experiences to a loyal community of guests who often feel more like friends than customers.

The New Home of Sharpham Wine in the Dart Valley

Sandridge Barton is the new home of Sharpham Wine, continuing one of the most respected legacies in the English wine industry. With over 40 years of winemaking experience, Sharpham was among the early pioneers of producing high-quality wine in England.

Today, the tradition continues at Sandridge Barton, where grapes are grown in the unique microclimate of the Dart Valley in South Devon. This sheltered valley provides ideal conditions for growing grapes used to produce elegant and distinctive English wines.

Using a combination of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovation, the team creates wines that truly reflect the character of Devon’s landscape. Many of the talented winemakers who helped establish Sharpham’s reputation have continued their work at Sandridge Barton, ensuring the same passion and expertise remain at the heart of every bottle.

Between March and May, guests at Thurlestone Hotel can enjoy three exceptional Sandridge Barton wines featured on our recommended wine list.

These locally produced Devon wines will be available by the glass, carafe or bottle, offering the perfect opportunity to discover the flavours of the Dart Valley while dining with us.
