Just out of interest, has anybody visited this vineyard in Shotley?
Is it walkable from the marina? Was wondering whether it was worth a trip sometime and what the wine is like ofcourse.....

Interesting.... I didn't know there was a vineyard there....
Will be investigating!!!!!!!!!!
The whole of Shotley is within a 15 min walk of the marina, and most of it within 5 mins...

The vineyard is not far from the church - ie quite a walk from the Marina, there is a sign post to it by the school, you can see a part of the vineyard laid out from the road, but by the sound, its med sweet German type, may be wrong but the name sounds Germanic or is it Saxon

Nothing on the web site about visits and tastings but i am sure a bunch of sailors could blag a day there if holding plastic and willing to use it
