Yorkshire Country Wines
|
Situated in the village of Glasshouses, this 19th century Mill was originally owned by the Metcalfe family. They have left an impressive legacy of grand houses, cottages near the mill for their workers, a school for the children and even a brewery in nearby Pateley - though long since closed! The Mill used two water wheels to spin the flax and after
1862, a steam engine was added to supplement the
waterpower. The mill continued spinning yarn until the late
seventies/early eighties.
In 1989 Yorkshire Country Wines established itself in the
cellars of the old mill. They produce a range of traditional
fruit wines, such as Elderberry, Elderflower, Blackberry,
Gooseberry, Damson, Cherry, Rhubarb and Wassail Cup. The
tasting room is home to an impressive water turbine and the former
Steam Room has been converted into a tearoom.
