Adding some extra sparkle to Bishop’s Stortford

First generation winemakers, the Ford family planted their first vines in 2018. Now, in 2025, their dedication bears fruit in the form of three sparkling wines from two vintages: Classic Cuvée from 2021 & 2022 and a Sparkling Rosé from 2022.

Alongside the wine itself, the Fords have also been busy building a state-of-the-art winery on site, next door to the vines and their home. The winery enables the winemaking journey all the way from the grape pressing to aging to bottling, whilst also housing a beautiful space for guests to enjoy tastings and experiences in an idyllic setting.

“We can’t wait to welcome guests to our vineyard, to share our wine and raise a glass”

VISIT OUR VINEYARD

With Britain’s climate increasingly resembling that of the iconic Champagne region in France, English wine is rapidly earning a reputation as a delicious, lower-carbon alternative. East Anglia in particular, is emerging as a leading region thanks to its cool climate, dry environment and chalky soils, making it ideal for wine production. Created using the same traditional methods as Champagne, Bailey Hills is proud to be part of the exciting & thriving future of English winemaking.
