In the Vale of York, Dunesforde is a four-acre, boutique vineyard established by the Townsend family in 2016. Inspired by the vineyards in Tuscany and the Roman heritage in the area, it is believed that during their long occupation of Britain the Romans were the first to grow wine in the local area. Dunesforde’s first harvest was in November 2019 and in June 2020 the first wine went on sale.
In July 2024 the Dunesforde Vineyard won the Tom Day Trophy for the best single Varietal white wine for their Pinot Gris 2022 at the annual WineGB awards, a huge achievement for the family and the team.
Oxley’s were originally contacted in November 2023 after the owners had seen our furniture at Grantley Hall, and a site visit followed in January 2024. Our Sienna Design was selected to suit the space with the owners specifying customised square tables, and our Desert Sand finish was chosen to complement the stone flooring of their beautiful new dining terrace.
Sunbrella Archi Oxide fabric was selected for the accompanying cushions and, although the furniture sits in a covered terrace, the high performance outdoor fabric will remain resilient and robust in this busy commercial environment.
The Vineyard dining area was due to open at the beginning of April so Oxley’s loaned the vineyard additional pieces until the custom made furniture was ready at the beginning of May.
