"Great day. Relaxing, interesting, and a lovely setting. A hidden gem. Did not know this vineyard was in Bedford. Great wines!"

Discover our wine
We aim to produce award-winning quality still white wines each year, supplemented by a sparkling blend when conditions favour.
NEW - Rose Brut 2023
New to 2026, this one-off wine produced with Reichensteiner grapes with added pinot noir is exclusively available at Warden Abbey Vineyard tours and events.
The Nonconformist 2024
This vintage of only 700 bottles was the total output for the vineyard in 2024. It is a blend of Reichensteiner, Müller-Thurgau and Bacchus grapes that were mostly planted in 1986.
The Nonconformist 2022
This vintage of only 950 bottles. A dry white, light and enticing, with delicate floral aromas, honey and zesty citrus followed by baked apple.
Warden Abbey Brut 2020
A pear and peach influence give a nice balance between fruit and acidity, a good depth of flavour with cream and apple at the back refreshing the long finish.

We had a lovely day at the vineyard picnic on Sunday – the volunteers were really friendly and helpful, it was great set up. It sparked my son’s interest in volunteering at the vineyard as well.
