The Alverton Hotel

Knightor is a working winery, wedding and events venue, nestled above St Austell Bay and a stones throw from the Eden Project.  From our historic granite barns and 4 acres of Cornish hedgerows, pasture and orchard, we host feasts and celebrations in the best way we know - with only the finest local produce and superb award winning English wine.

We make premium quality, limited production wines from grapes grown in English vineyards and our own Cornish vines at Portscatho and Seaton. Our selection includes still and sparkling wines of red, white and rose varieties, plus our unique Cornish Vermouth.

Colwith Farm Distillery is Cornwall’s first and only ‘plough to bottle’ gin and vodka distillery. Come and see how, we transform the potatoes grown on our fifth generation family farm into award winning vodka and gin - then sample the produce straight from the source!

Whereas most craft distilleries buy-in mass produced ethanol, at Colwith Farm Distillery, everything is delicately produced from scratch on one single estate. Even the water used in the production process rises from an aquifer situated beneath the distillery. It is much more challenging, time consuming and costly to produce spirits this way - but we truly believe it's worth it.

We offer guided distillery tours and tastings, a gin masterclass and bespoke events. We also have a beautiful, upcycled tasting bar overlooking the picturesque countryside and a shop where you can enjoy free samples!
