Sources say Noel, 75, signed the £1m deal with ITV after a “frantic” 10-month bidding war.
The three-parter will see Noel tending the vineyards on his 11-acre River Haven estate.
He also drinks pints in his 17th-century pub and hosts a “positive” radio station for plants and pets.
A source said: “Noel’s amazing — and very eccentric — life will make TV gold.

“For his part, Noel would like the world to know that he has not retired and that this chapter of his life is a new adventure.
“The production companies were frantic to secure the rights and everyone knows this could be a big comeback for Noel.”
Production company Potato, which is behind shows like The Chase and Ninja Warrior, will reportedly produce the series.
Tentatively titled Noel’s Haven, it is likely to air late next year.
The Deal or No Deal star, who once said he was followed by two balls of energy the size of a melon, moved to New Zealand in 2019.

He and wife Liz spent £20million on 12 properties in remote Ngatimoti, and locals accuse him of “colonising” the village.
Noel, once a staple of British television, last appeared on British television in 2018 on I’m A Celebrity.
It comes after Clarkson’s Farm broke Amazon Prime records.
