About Far Acre Farm Vineyard
Far Acre Farm Vineyard is a small but dedicated English vineyard nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside in the South East of England. Situated near the village of Cranbrook with postcode TN12 9LT, this family run vineyard has been cultivating vines since 2010, making it a well established name in the growing English wine scene. With approximately 0.81 hectares under vine, Far Acre Farm represents the kind of passionate, boutique operation that is helping to put English wine on the world map.
The vineyard focuses on three carefully selected grape varieties that are well suited to the Kent growing conditions. Bacchus is planted, a popular English wine grape variety that produces aromatic wines with a crisp, fresh character that is particularly suited to the English climate. Chardonnay vines also grow at Far Acre Farm, the versatile grape that is the backbone of fine sparkling wine production and still wine alike across England. The third variety is Precoce, a relatively rare grape that adds further diversity to the vineyard's portfolio and speaks to the adventurous spirit of this Kent grower.
Kent has long been recognised as one of England's premier wine regions, with its gentle slopes, free draining soils and relatively mild climate creating excellent conditions for vine cultivation. The region has been instrumental in the explosion of English wine's reputation over the past two decades, and Far Acre Farm Vineyard plays its part in that story through its committed approach to quality viticulture.
At present, Far Acre Farm Vineyard does not operate a public facing tasting room or open its gates to visitors for tours and tastings. Those interested in sampling or purchasing their wines are advised to check their official Facebook page for updates on availability and distribution channels. Despite not being open to the public, the vineyard remains a valued part of Kent's wine landscape, demonstrating that dedication to quality grape growing can produce excellent results even on a modest scale.
