Wineshare

Be involved in the journey from vine to bottle, without having to own a vineyard. You can enjoy the fun of vineyard visits to see how the wine is made - even picking your own grapes if you wish. Or simply savour the top-quality wines.

Many of us may dream of owning and running a vineyard - but the reality is that it difficult to make a success of it unless you know what you are doing and are prepared for some very stressful hard physical graft and very high levels of risk - the market, the climate, pests and diseases and French bureaucracy can conspire to take the shine off the cherished dream.

However, with Wineshare you can at least have a small part in a French (or Italian) vineyard with own row of vines! You can become part of an exclusive club that offers fun, involvement, and quality wines at special prices.

There is one vineyard in Italy (Tuscany) or 3 in France to choose from:-

Château Constantin-Chevalier in the Côtes du Luberon (Provence); Chateau de Pizay in Beaujolais; Chateau Grande Mayne in the Côtes de Duras (South West France) - so there are wines to suit most tastes.

In addition the company offers opportunities to be more involved - for example visits to the vineyards during harvest time, tastings (France and UK), meeting the winemakers etc - all to reinforce your part ownership of a real working vineyard.

You can own a row of vines in a vineyard for 1 - 5 years from just £75 - so it could make an excellent gift for a wine-lover.
