About Herts Oak Farm Vineyard

Herts Oak Farm Vineyard is a small but dedicated English wine producer situated in the county of Hertfordshire, within the East Anglia wine region of England. Founded in 2001, this vineyard has been cultivating vines for over two decades, contributing to the growing reputation of English wine production beyond the traditional wine-growing counties.

The vineyard occupies approximately 0.30 hectares of planted vines, demonstrating that quality English wine can be produced on a modest scale. Despite its small size, Herts Oak Farm Vineyard has focused on cultivating a diverse selection of grape varieties that are well-suited to the English climate. The plantings include Bacchus, an aromatic white grape variety that has proven successful in England, as well as Rondo and Regent, both of which are German-derived crossing varieties bred specifically for cooler growing conditions. Red wine enthusiasts will appreciate the presence of Acolon and Dunkelfelder in the vineyard, with the latter being a dark-skinned German variety that adds complexity to the portfolio. Reich is also listed among the planted varieties, rounding out a collection that reflects thoughtful varietal selection for English growing conditions.

Located near postcode EN10 7QJ in Hertfordshire, the vineyard benefits from the generally favourable growing conditions found in this part of southern England. The East Anglia region has seen significant expansion in vineyard plantings over recent years, and Herts Oak Farm Vineyard represents the smaller, boutique end of English wine production where dedicated growers pursue quality over quantity.
