Two families have done it anyway, on slopes most people would have left to the sheep. At Pant Du in the Nantlle Valley, vines and apple trees grow on south-facing glacial slopes at the foot of Snowdon, with the mountains on one side and the sea on the other. At Gwinllan Conwy, Colin and Charlotte Bennett planted their first vines in 2012 and now tend three thousand, choosing hybrid grapes for north Walian weather. You taste at both, and hear how they make it work. This tour is an example: every trip is planned around the people taking it.

The hybrid varieties are chosen for north Walian soil and weather, and give the wines a fresh, delicate style. There is a courtyard, a shop and tastings looking out over the vines towards the Conwy valley. ## What guests say ★★★★★ March 2026 ### Absolutely brilliant tour What a fantastic day we had with John. Incredibly polite, huge local knowledge, lovely clean & comfortable vehicle. The tour was excellent and we went to places we would never have found. The cheese was delicious and a lovely surprise. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We loved the areas we were shown so much we are considering a Welsh retirement. Lisa L [TripAdvisor](https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g186431-d11661165-r1051662217-Celticos-Caernarfon_Gwynedd_North_Wales_Wales.html "View the original review on TripAdvisor") ★★★★★ February 2025 ### A perfect experience and amazing host The experience on this tour with John was outstanding. His attention to detail and connection with us was so lovely. We took a half day tour, in fact the tour lasted for over 5 hours, around North Wales. John explained all the areas he took us to, he gave us as much time as we needed at the stops we made and gave us a brilliant personalised experience. He took us to the places he knew we would want to see and when we requested some different places he obliged. Nothing was too much for John. Even purchased some Snowdonia cheese for us.

Yes. Every tour we run is customised, so treat this itinerary as a starting point. Tell us what interests you and we will build the days around it. What time do we start and finish? Usually around 9am to 5pm, but we are flexible. What matters most is that you have a good time, so if starting earlier or finishing later makes for a better day, that is what we will do. How many of us can come? Up to 7 guests, travelling together in our Mercedes V-Class. Seven can be tight, so we usually recommend no more than 6. For a party of 8 or more, get in touch and we will make special arrangements. How far ahead should we get in touch? Whenever suits you. Some guests write eight months ahead, some a few weeks before. It's best to confirm availability as soon as possible. Can children come? Children are welcome. Not every tour suits every age, so tell us their ages when you get in touch and we will plan the day around them. We are not able to accommodate infants and babies. Can this tour be combined with other tours, or made longer or shorter? Yes. A day tour can be built into a multi-day tour, and a multi-day tour can be shortened, extended or joined to another. Tell us how many days you have and we will plan around them. Are admission fees included? No. Entry to castles, gardens and other attractions is paid on the day, where a fee applies. Most of the castles are maintained by Cadw, part of the Welsh Government. Please visit [cadw.gov.wales](https://cadw.gov.wales). We can advise you on the best deals when you book your tour with us. Is food included? No. As we tour we will suggest eating places that our guests have enjoyed. What should we wear and bring? Sensible footwear for some light walking, and a rain jacket, just in case. How much walking is involved? Some, and none of it strenuous: the walk from the car to a castle gate or a viewpoint. If walking is a concern, tell us and we will plan the stops accordingly. Where should we stay? Somewhere central, so that touring time is not spent driving to the start.
