28 January 2017 
A fantastic start to 2017 when Faye received an invitation from Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall to a Reception at Clarence House celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the United Kingdom Vineyards Association. Every guest was introduced and given the opportunity speak with the President. I mentioned that Lily Farm is one of the smallest commercial vineyards in England and that we produce a whole range of wines including award winning red wines, HRH said that she would certainly keep an eye on us!
Highgrove Cuvee was the chosen sparkling wine for the occasion and the evening culminated in the cutting of a cake which was fashioned in the shape of a large green bottle of sparkling wine. For security reasons photographs were not allowed.
