The Great British Vineyards Guide

Adding some extra sparkle to Bishop’s Stortford

First generation winemakers, the Ford family planted their first vines in 2018. In September 2025, their dedication bore fruit in the form of three sparkling wines from two vintages: Classic Cuvée from 2021 & 2022 and a Sparkling Rosé from 2022.

Alongside the wine itself, the Fords built a state-of-the-art winery on site, next door to the vines and their home. The winery enables the winemaking journey all the way from the grape pressing to aging to bottling, whilst also housing a beautiful space for guests to enjoy tastings and experiences in an idyllic setting.
