Member Overview
What is Torview Wines?
Torview Wines is a small, family-run vineyard and winery located at Beara Farm near Sheepwash, Beaworthy, on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. Established in 2007 and run by Tim and his family, Torview is renowned for producing award-winning English wines, particularly red wines, thanks to a unique Dartmoor microclimate that encourages excellent grape ripening and distinctive fruit-forward flavours.
Sheltered by the tors of Dartmoor, the vineyard combines traditional winemaking with sustainable, regenerative growing practices to create expressive wines that reflect the character of the Devon landscape.
What does Torview Wines offer?
Torview Wines produces a range of handcrafted English wines, with a particular focus on red wine production. Their collection includes still reds, lighter summer reds designed to be served chilled, and, depending on the vintage, white, rosé and sparkling wines. All wines are dry, balanced, fruit-driven and vegan-friendly, with many bottled unfiltered to preserve flavour and complexity.
Visitors can also enjoy a variety of vineyard experiences, including guided vineyard tours, winery visits, tutored wine tastings and hands-on winemaking days, offering a unique opportunity to learn about English viticulture and create wine from grape to bottle.
