There are around 500 vineyards in England and Wales covering an area of four and a half thousand acres. And those are figures that Liz Truss, the Environment Secretary, wants to see growing. Earlier this month she called the first ever wine 'roundtable' bringing together producers and leading wine industry representatives to celebrate English and Welsh wine. She told them she wants to see a ten fold increase in UK wine exports by 2020 - in just four years. Sam Lindo, a vintner at Camel Valley Wines in Cornwall and Chairman of UKVA, the United Kingdom Vineyards Association believes it's realistic to achieve such an increase in exports.

Most farmers are happy to give a tour of the farm and show off their livestock, but some in Scotland are taking their tourism services to the next level. They're getting themselves trained up as tour guides. Nancy Nicholson's been to meet them.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Mark Smalley.
