Forty Hall Vineyard
London
Nestled in the peaceful London Borough of Enfield, the Forty Hall Vineyard is an extraordinary example of how tradition, community, and innovation can coexist. This vineyard, located on the outskirts of the city, spans ten acres within the historic Forty Hall Estate, a stunning heritage site that also includes a community farm. Founded fifteen years ago as a social enterprise, it is now the first commercial-scale vineyard in London since the Middle Ages, producing organic, high-quality still and sparkling wines.
With a certified sustainable management approach and a deep commitment to the environment, the Forty Hall Vineyard is much more than a simple wine producer. It serves as a community hub, offering ecotherapy volunteering opportunities that aim to improve the mental and physical well-being of participants by working outdoors. The profits from the sales of their renowned wines, such as the London Brut, Bacchus, and Ortega, are reinvested into these initiatives to benefit the local community.
The vineyard also welcomes the public with guided tours, tastings, and special events, making this unique enological experience accessible not only to wine enthusiasts but to anyone interested in discovering the beauty of urban and sustainable viticulture in London.
