A Story in Every Glass
A Minerva Vines wine is more than just something to raise in a toast — it is the lifeblood of the estate and the heart of your wedding celebration. Each bottle tells a story of regenerative practices in the soil, sun, and craftsmanship, poured into moments that last a lifetime. When your guests lift their glasses, they’re not just drinking wine — they’re tasting the very landscape that surrounds them.
Minerva Vines is a family estate built on dedication, creativity, and vision. Every bottle is a reflection of the people behind it — our family who tend the land, craft the wines, and open the vineyard to yours. Hosting your wedding here means becoming part of that story. Our family welcomes yours, ensuring your day feels personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
Our Wines
Minerva Vines produces elegant English sparkling and still wines, grown onsite.
From crisp, refined Chardonnays, Rosé to expressive Pinot blends, our wines capture the character of Bath and the Romans once cultivated vines while standing proudly alongside the world’s finest vintages. Every pour has been crafted with precision and passion, offering a level of quality that elevates your wedding feast and sets your celebration apart.
The Vineyard Experience
The vineyard itself is the showpiece of your day — 2 hectares of vines, framed by 360° views of rolling hills, Bath’s historic skyline, and an ancient woodland fort. Guests often remark that they feel transported to the South of France, yet remain just minutes from the city of Bath. Couples can choose to host vineyard tours, tasting sessions, or sunset walks among the rows, making the vines not just a backdrop but an interactive part of the celebration.
Meet the Family
Eddie and Emily, the dedicated owners of Minerva Vineyards, embody the spirit of passion and commitment in every bottle they produce. They personally oversaw the planting of the first vines over a decade ago, blending traditional viticulture with innovative, sustainable practices. Their journey has been a shared labor of love, transforming raw land into a renowned wine estate. Emily focuses on the vineyard's meticulous care and unique terroir, while Eddie leads the vineyard tours and wine tasting with music pairing experience, ensuring every visitor and every glass reflects their shared vision of quality, community, and the exceptional character of their wine.
At the Heart of Minerva Vines
Every vineyard has its soil, its vines, and its seasons. What makes Minerva Vines truly unique is the family behind it. This is not just a venue; it is our home, our livelihood, and our legacy — and when you choose to celebrate here, you become part of that story.
A Personal Welcome
From your very first visit, you’ll be welcomed not by a faceless team, but by the people who live and breathe the vineyard every day. We are here to listen, guide, and share in the excitement of bringing your wedding vision to life. Couples often tell us that what sets Minerva Vines apart is the sense of warmth and genuine care they feel from the start.
A GENERATION OF CARE
Our family has nurtured this land with a blend of tradition, innovation, and love. The vineyard is tended by hand, the wines crafted with artistry, and the estate shaped to offer something truly special for those who come here. Every decision, from the vines we plant to the events we host, is rooted in a commitment to quality and legacy.
