Strawberry Hill . . . - a photo on Flickriver

Strawberry Hill . . .

            . . .  looks like a banana plantation but it is one of my favourite vineyards. On the left are the banana trees planted by vineyard manager Oliver Chance's grandma. On the right (and on the left behind the bananas) there is over an acre of glasshouses that accelerate the development of the vines especially for red wines and gives some protection against the vagaries of British weather. Interestingly, the weather has been so good this year that the grapes in the open fields (beyond the glasshouses) seem almost as advanced as those under glass.  Strawberry Hill, situated less than a mile  from the more famous Tree Choirs vineyard in Gloucestershire, is quite possibly the only vineyard in the world to grow grapes under glass on such a scale.
