Imagine a sun drenched hill planted with rows of vines, with bees and insects buzzing lazily between the wild flowers. Provence? Tuscany? No – Enfield in London!
Forty Hall Community Vineyard is a new social enterprise which will plant fifteen acres of top quality vines in the London Borough of Enfield for the purpose of producing wine for the London market. Forty Hall Vineyard will pick up the tradition of winemaking in England introduced by the Romans, by becoming the first commercial scale vineyard in London since medieval times.
We will produce a range of still and sparkling wines of the highest quality which will clearly express the fresh, light and fruity characteristics of the best English wines.
Forty Hall Vineyard is only 12 miles from central London so our wines will not have far to travel to reach several million consumers. This will help to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum. We aim to make wines which Londoners will enjoy and feel proud of. We want to move wine production back to the heart of the local community and to champion quality, distinctiveness, place, sustainability and community involvement.
The project is in its infancy – the first two acres are planted but we need to raise funds to plant up the remaining land. We need your support! Be a part of wine history by helping us establish London’s vineyard.
