British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection
- Grow your own vineyard with these classic wine grape varieties, chosen by our specialist growers. These vigorous climbing plants will grow into a cool, leafy canopy, typically starting to produce fruit after two years - ideal for making your own house vintage
- The small pack includes one Pinot Noir (red) and one Chardonnay (white) grape vine (harvest in October). Pinot noir is an attractive vine with blue black grapes and bright red autumn foliage and Chardonnay is the classic dry white wine, from golden yellow grapes.
- The large pack contains both of these plus one Lakemont (white) and one Regent (red) grapevine. Lakemont is a white, seedless dessert grape with a sweet, honeyed taste, while Regent is a deliciously deep red grape which is perfect for eating too
- Premium plants in 3L pots grown by fruit specialists in the South Downs, professionally pruned and sent to you in sustainable packaging
- Growing your own gives you healthy, fresh produce with a lower carbon plantprint than anything you can buy from a shop (and no alcohol duty)
- Grow outdoors on a pergola or wall or indoors in a greenhouse or conservatory. Grape vines need plenty of sun to produce a good crop and will need some support. Check our individual plant pages for detailed growing instructions and measurements
- All of our grape varieties are chosen for their heavy cropping, reliability, taste and suitability for beginners. They've been specially bred for UK weather conditions
What to expect
Height on arrival
Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Yes, British Winemaking Grape can be cultivated in a large pot (at least 40 to 50 litres), but will require regular watering and a support structure.
How big does it get?
The varieties in the British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection are vigorous climbers that can reach up to 4 metres in length.
How much sunlight does this need?
The British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection needs full sun, requiring a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to ripen properly.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
The British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection prefers deep, well-draining soil, and the roots should be planted at a depth of about 15 cm to protect them from winter temperatures dropping below 0°C.
How much watering does this plant need?
The British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection needs deep watering about once a week, providing roughly 2.5 centimetres of water, especially during prolonged dry periods.
Will this plant need pruning?
Yes, the British Winemaking Grape Vines Collection requires strict pruning in mid-winter to control its growth and ensure a good harvest.
How hardy is this plant?
The grape vines in this collection are hardy across most of the UK (RHS H4), tolerating winter temperatures down to -10°C. While they can endure the cold, planting them in a warm, sheltered, south-facing position is essential to ensure the grapes ripen properly, particularly in central and northern Britain.
