Eleanor Muriel Berwick (born 4 November 1943), previously Knowles, is a retired English wine-grower.
Born in 1943 at Mengo, in British East Africa, Eleanor Knowles was the daughter of Robert Knowles OBE, Commissioner of Trade and Customs, by his marriage to Phyllis Muriel Jarrett.
[1] In 1974, after retiring from the rubber industry, Eleanor and Ian Berwick planted Bruisyard, a ten-acre vineyard at the village of the same name near Saxmundham in Suffolk, unusually deciding to plant only Müller-Thurgau vines.
[3] By 1984 they were among the most successful of English wine growers,[4][5] and at a time of renewed interest in wine-growing helped to spread the news that establishing commercial vineyards in Britain was now possible.
[8] The Bruisyard vineyard continued to produce wine following the retirement of the couple, becoming also a herb centre.
