About Lyme Bay Winery

Established by Nigel Howard in Devon’s picturesque Axe Valley, Lyme Bay Winery built its early reputation on award-winning fruit wines, ciders, liqueurs, and traditional meads. Over the years, that craftsmanship has evolved into making them one of the UK’s premier producers of fine English still and sparkling wines.

Working With The Best English Vineyards

Moving away from single-estate farming, Lyme Bay operates with a visionary négociant philosophy – sourcing top-tier grapes from dedicated growers right across Southern England (including the Crouch Valley). By matching specific grape varieties to ideal local microclimates and soils, they secure fruit at peak ripeness to showcase the very best of British terroir. This vineyard-first approach has firmly established Lyme Bay among the most celebrated names in English winemaking today.
