Setting the Scene

At Cheeky Duck, sustainability is woven into every part of our business. We are dedicated to being eco-friendly and carbon-neutral. Our 5-acre vineyard, home to Vidal, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Baco Noir, and Marquette varietals, is a haven for butterflies and bees.

Miniature South Down sheep and our lively runner ducks assist with grazing and pest control. Additionally, we are one of the few vineyards in the region that uses wine pruning as an energy source during the winter.
