Fairmile Vineyard was delighted to be invited to contribute to the Henley In Bloom entries since 2014 – both at Regional, National, and International level.
We were proud of Henley’s being the only UK town put forward in 2015 by Britain In Bloom to enter the EU equivalent - Entente Florale. European judges enjoyed a taste of English sparkling wine (not ours at that time!) at the vineyard, and the town went on to win Silver - just two points away from Gold.
In Spring of 2018 we supported the creation of a community orchard on a piece of land owned by Henley Town Council between Paradise Road and Leaver Road, where we supplied Müller Thurgau Germanic wine-making grape vines, labour, trellising and expertise.
In support of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Fairmile Vineyard also threw its gates open to Chelsea Fringe tours in 2019 and (online during the coronavirus pandemic) in 2020.
