You get more than a whiff of southern Europe on these winery tours that take in south-facing slopes, neatly staked vines and the heady aroma of fermenting grapes. The hour-long strolls end with a tutored tasting of four wines, including a fruity red, a fresh rosé, a dry white and a Devon sparkling. Book ahead. Pebblebed is 1.5 miles east of Topsham.
If you miss a tour, head for the Topsham wine cellar and sample the vintages there.
