This Dorset vineyard sits in soil literally made from dinosaur bones, just a stone's throw from the Jurassic Coast, and they're using that prehistoric foundation to craft seriously good still and sparkling wines. The team offers tours and tastings in a proper winery space that's fully accessible, so you can actually see how they do it. Open weekdays 9:30-5, and they've got an online shop if you want to skip the drive.
