I think winery is a fairly common and well known word in the UK. I known 
of a few places near me that call themselves "<placename> Winery".
Its not necessarily associated with a vineyard - where the grapes are 
grown (vineyard), is often nowhere near where the wine is made and sold 
(winery). Some of my local wineries make fruit/berry based wines, so 
don't have a vineyard at all.

I think tourism=winery is the best option.
You could also have tourism=brewery and tourism=distillery for those 
places that have visitor centres/shops.
