Vineyard Manager - UK

Vinescapes have been the perfect partner for us in our new adventure, guiding us through the work. We are always able to get hold of them and nothing is too much trouble. We would recommend Vinescapes to anyone thinking of planting vines.

Tanhurst Estate in the Surrey Hills

'With the accessibility of VineMAP in terms of cost and functionality, I would be professionally obliged to deploy most or all of its functions as a basis for evaluating client’s candidate vineyard sites; in any case, use of VineMAP would very likely be the most cost-effective way of accessing the data-set and then presenting it for a client.'

Peter Hayes

‘VineMAP is absolutely crucial in the development of any new vineyard land, enabling costly mistakes to be avoided. It has clear mapping of all the essential factors that make decisions as to the suitability of a site or parts of a site straightforward. This has the potential to revolutionise UK wine production and ensure that only the most suitable sites for grape growing are planted’

Cameron Roucher

"I am extremely grateful for all that you have done and really appreciated all your advice. It was great having someone around to bounce ideas off and you were always really prompt in getting back to me."

Henry Sugden – Defined Wine

"Alistair and colleagues really got the set-up here off to a flying start and their help is already paying huge dividends. If you are in pursuit of perfection when it comes to English vineyards I'd recommend working with Vinescapes any day."

Tom Jayne, Moorbridge Vineyard

"I needed meteorological advice supported by viticulture knowledge. Alistair, in his comprehensive report, supplied both with succinct recommendations backed up by logical explanation. I feel confident that past problems will now be overcome."
