VIDEO: Pruning vines at Warden Abbey Vineyard
Each week budding viticulturalists travel to Warden Abbey Vineyard to prune some of the 4,000 vines.
The 5.5 acre site is between Old Warden and Cardington. It was originally created by the monks of Warden Abbey in medieval times and in 1986 it was replanted by the Whitbread family.
