A brilliant day at Gin school, learnt a lot and well worth the visit. Mowenna was very informative and kept us on the straight and narrow. Take a taxi and do not drive, they offer Gin tasters and you need to try.

Stopped off on our way to Totnes and spent a relaxed hour here out on the benches. Affable crowd. We had two large but different IPAs and would have stayed for a vegetarian burger lunch from The Big Kebabski food stand. We will be back.
3. The Totnes Brewing Co.
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
The Totnes Brewing Co is situated at the bottom of Totnes Castle. As well as brewing their own craft beers right in the bar on a weekly basis they also stock a huge range of guest craft ales & ciders - local and international. If you love craft beer this is a must with "probably" the largest selection of beers and ciders in the area (usually over 100). The beer garden is a perfect spot from which to admire the Castle and the bar is warm and cosy at night - with an open fire on cold days. Food platters to go with beer are served during the holiday season and people are welcome to bring their own food when the kitchen is closed - they are dog friendly and have free wifi. Children welcome during the day and early evening.

Classic English wines are produced at Sharpham vineyard as a result of a happy marriage of soil, climate and grape variety known as terroir, and nature has bestowed her gifts freely upon us here at Sharpham. In the winery, we employ both New World and traditional techniques to best develop our unique regional characteristics. Our tally of International Awards confirms our position as one of England's foremost quality wine producers. We invite you to visit, sample, and make up your own minds about our fine English wine.

Great day here even in bad weather. Knowledgeable info from Tom guided us through a generous wine & cheese tasting & tour of winery. Nice walk through vineyard & along river dart. Lovely views. Ate lunch at the al fresco diner attached - superb. Good quality products. Highly recommended.
