Not a lotta vineyards inside the M25, but just up the road a ways is
Forty Hall Community Vineyard established to produce a range of quality still and sparkling wines for the London market.
The project begun in May 2009, with the planting of the first two acres of Bacchus vines in Forty Hall Organic Farm, funded by a £132,000 National Lottery grant.
The vineyard is a community driven social enterprise and will provide educational and volunteering opportunities to a wide range of local people. It is run and managed by volunteers and will also form part of a wider college initiative which will establish the farm as a hub of local, organic food production. Any profits generated will be used to promote sustainable urban agriculture and to illustrate the 'field to table' production of local food.
