Strange to believe but there are vineyards around Cambridge. The place is called "Chilford Hall" and they produce a small amount of wine, all of it white quite fruity and light as they use prevalently Muller-Thurgau and Dorfendel which are quite sweet and juicy. We haven't bought a bottle yet but we will. The shop was closed on the way back from our walk. I almost felt back home in Tuscany!
I had a wonderful tour in this English vineyard, with lots of interesting information on the vines, the wine-making process and a final tasting of unusual wines. It's cheap, informative and the whole visit lasts 2 hours (http://www.chilfordhall.co.uk).
