Vineyard life at Bartlett’s

Nestled on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, Bartlett’s Residential Care Home in Stone has taken an innovative step in enriching life for its residents – by planting a vineyard.

More than 4,000 vines of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay now flourish in the grounds, benefiting from the same chalky soils that make France’s Champagne region world-famous.

The project isn’t just about producing sparkling wine in years to come – it’s about purpose, connection, and joy today. Residents are actively involved in tending the vines, watching the seasonal changes, and taking buggy tours of the grounds.

For those living with dementia, this type of meaningful, sensory engagement in nature brings proven benefits to wellbeing, from reduced anxiety to improved mood.

The vineyard sits alongside Bartlett’s newly opened garden lodges and café, creating a unique environment where residents and their families can share moments together. It reflects Peverel Court Care’s commitment to going beyond care – offering a lifestyle rooted in community, beauty, and experience.
