Grape picking and wine tasting at picturesque Somerset-based vineyard

A hidden gem can be found on the outskirts of Bridgwater, Somerset – Stocklands Vineyard. On Tuesday 3rd October, 2023, members of Taunton Round Table (TRT) were given the opportunity to maintain the soon-to-be-harvested vines in return for a wine tasting session.

Run by Liam McEachen, the vineyard spans one hectare and produces thousands of bottles of wine each year. Upon harvest, grapes are carefully fermented into bottles of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wine is sold to pubs and retailers in Somerset and beyond.

Following the wine tasting, a much-needed meal was enjoyed at Pig & Wheel. Thanks goes to Liam who shared his expertise and delicious wine!
