If you have always dreamt of managing your own vineyard and are looking for an established estate then the sale of Old Luxters/Chiltern Valley Wines on the South Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border may be of interest.
Perhaps an English estate was not your first choice but there is more to Old Luxters than just wine. They have a thriving brewing industry there too. The production of the Barn Ale, Dark Roast Ale and others forms an integral part of the business; they also bottle other producers ales.
The Barn Ale, incidentally, is the only micro-brewed ale to be awarded a ‘By Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen’.
The estate which includes a five bedroom house and swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and garden with orchard, the out-buildings hired out for events, the brewery and vineyard are on the market for £4 million.
