Places to Visit Milton Keynes Vineyard This vineyard at Woughton on the Green produces Milton Keynes own  distinctive wines The six acre area contains a four acre Vineyard and a  two acre Cider Orchard, and has selected both vines and trees from established  noble varieties. The Vineyard is planted on the Oxford Clays and lies on  the gentle medieval ridge and furrow soil profile to the west of the ancient  Church of St mary's in the centre of the Village. It was in 1988 that the  first planting of two acres with the superb Bachus vine with the Madeleine  Angevine occurred. Since then other vines have been added such as Regner and  Schonburger and a small number of black grape varieties - the Dornfelder and the  Dunkenfelder. Picking is late - at the end of October or early November.  The collected fruit is delivered at speed to the Chilterns where Old Luxters  Winery quickly crush the grapes and the juice is allowed to slowly ferment with  neutral yeasts in order to retain the natural yeasts and aromas. The  wine enjoys many months of further maturation before being released to the many  Woughton Park devotees the following Autumn. The vineyard now produces  an excellent selection of white and rose wines. The Vineyard is run  entirely by he owners Tony and Rosemary Stanyer, who are pleased to welcome  visitors if notified in advance.
