Events @ Amber Valley Vineyards

We're rightly proud of the events we hold here at Amber Valley Vineyards.  This page is devoted to the events we run at our beautiful rustic, countryside site in the glorious, and relatively little known, Amber Valley of Derbyshire just to the east of the Peak District.  As well as the obvious vineyards we also have a beautiful orchard and hay meadow, which provides a backdrop that lifts the experience on our site.
