History
Lyme Bay was set up by Nigel Howard in 1993 in Devon with the ambition of making high-quality cider. His interest in winemaking encouraged him to expand his venture 16 years later. Today, under the leadership of MD James Lambert, Lyme Bay has long-standing partnerships with some of the UK's best grape growers, sourcing grapes from 5 areas across the south of England and producing award winning wines year on year.
