Vineyards

Does anybody know where the nearest commercial vineyard is to Marlborough is.
I had a bottle from Stitchcombe once but it has now been grubbed up, there used to be one at Stert near Devizes.
Also is there a wine tasting club in Marlborough (I don't mean a wine making club).
Cheers

Empty Shops
(Preview)
Has Marlborough really become so popular (i.e. expensive) that businesses are being priced out of the High Street? Oxfam, the Games Store, Tudor Tea Rooms, Kiosk, David Chrisopher. Is this a sign that the slow decline of Marlborough is speeding up?
