A vineyard just outside York is to stage its first ever Great Yorkshire Wine and Fizz Festival.

The event at the Nun-Monkton based, family-run, Yorkshire Heart Vineyard, will take place during the August Bank Holiday weekend on Sunday, August 25.

The Festival has been announced as part of the Vineyard’s celebrations of English Wine Week (June 15 - 23) with its ambition to introduce as many people as possible to the high quality, great tasting wines that are produced in the region.

Yorkshire Heart will host several other Vineyards from across the region including Laurel Vines, Little Wold Vineyard and Ryedale Vineyard, who will be giving talks and sharing samples of their wines in the tasting tents.

Camping and glamping is also available on site for visitors wishing to extend their stay at the Vineyard across the Bank Holiday weekend.

The Great Yorkshire Wine & Fizz Festival is a new addition to Yorkshire Heart Vineyard’s jam-packed events calendar which includes their weekly Vineyard tours, Evenings in the Vineyard and their annual Hearty Festival which is taking place from July 26 – July 28.
