Brick House Vineyard

General information

Brick House Vineyard opens in late 2017 as the perfect venue for weddings, corporate events and wine tasting courses. We are currently undergoing extensive renovation of our C18th Round House and Grade ll threshing barn.

Our vineyard has been established for a few years now, producing about 1000 bottles a year. We are planting more vines to increase capacity and will be offering wine tasting and vineyard tours in 2018.

Joanna and Matt, the owners of Brick House Vineyard, moved to Devon in August 2015. Having worked in the corporate sector in London for over 15 years, we made a decision to relocate to the country with our young family to start new life. We bought a vineyard with an 18th century, Grade II listed threshing barn and Round House, and embarked on a journey of setting up our wine, weddings and events business. We are now in the process of restoring the Round House to create an unique, rustic venue for tailor made events.

About Joanna: I am a wine enthusiast and am passionate about wine and food matching. My interest in wine originated during my studies in Tuscany, where I fell in love with classic Italian wines and their ability to influence the taste of food and enhance the dining experience. I recently completed my Level 3 qualifications with Wines and Spirits Educational Trust with distinction and aim to become wine and food pairing expert. I will run wine tasting events at the Vineyard.

About Matthew: Since the move to the country, I have been learning how to maintain the vineyard. As well as studying the subject, I am getting hands-on training from a dedicated Viticulture consultant who supports management of Brick House Vineyard. I have always been passionate about food and wine, and I love cooking. I am excited about the opportunity to prepare food for the events, using produce from our smallholding and local suppliers. I believe in keeping recipes simple and maximising flavour to showcase quality ingredients.
