Sustainability

The vineyard is a haven for wildlife including rare arable flora, Scilly shrews, bats, butterflies and a thriving songbird population - the interpretation boards around the Vine Trail will introduce you to some of these. 

​

We put sustainability at the heart of everything we do, and were awarded 'Highly Commended' in the 2022 Cornwall Sustainability Awards (CSA).

Shepherds Huts

We built our shepherds huts by hand in a quiet corner of the vineyard - with everything you need to a self-catering week away on St Martin's, they are the ideal base from which to explore the islands.

The Vineyard

On south-facing slopes, a stone's throw from the sea, lies St Martin's Vineyard - a unique coastal vineyard and winery working towards organic production of white, red and rose wines.

The Winemakers

Leaving behind the landlocked Midlands, James and Holly moved to the island of St Martin's in 2020 to take on guardianship of this special vineyard which was first planted here back in 1996.

St Martin's, Scilly

The Isles of Scilly lie 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall - once you reach Land's End, simply keep going! St Martin's is one of the smaller inhabited islands boasting stunning sandy beaches, unique flora and wildlife, and outstanding local produce.
