Cornwall Living Christmas Guide

Something worth sharing

Distinctive Cornish wines and guided riverbank experiences from an ambitious young family farm.

For anyone who finds Christmas shopping easier with a bottle in mind, Shillingham Vineyard offers a distinctly Cornish answer. Tucked along the River Lynher at Antony Passage, this young, family-run farm is led by the Ramsden siblings – a passionate team invigorating the region’s wine scene with an authentic, down-to-earth spirit. Crucially, every bottle begins right here on the riverbanks, crafted exclusively from 100% Cornish-grown grapes cultivated on their own land.

Whether hosting for the holidays or searching for a thoughtful gift, Shillingham’s current line-up delivers something memorable. Their signature bottle and best-seller, a dry, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, and their elegant Chardonnay both pair beautifully with a traditional Christmas turkey. Meanwhile, their vibrant Pinot Noir Rosé makes a brilliant match for a smoked trout starter or a festive fruity dessert. With exciting new releases in the pipeline, including a Classic Cuvée sparkling, a still Pinot Noir, and a Pinot Gris, it’s a range made for discovering.

For an experience to look forward to, Shillingham’s guided vineyard tours, running from May through to September, offer a wonderfully welcoming, down-to-earth day out. Far removed from rigid, corporate tastings, these personal, team-guided walks give guests an authentic look at the working farm, culminating in a tasting of three to five wines overlooking the very slopes where the grapes are grown.

Their flexible gift vouchers offer the gift of choice, letting recipients pick their favourite bottles or book a future tour. Shillingham also caters directly to bespoke corporate orders, tailored hampers, and custom gifts, making it effortless to share a genuine piece of Cornwall with clients, friends, or family this Christmas.

Whether sharing a bottle or gifting a tour, Shillingham offers something that is simple, genuine, and beautifully Cornish.
