Giffords Hall Vineyard

Giffords Hall Vineyard

Giffords Hall is a family vineyard growing Bacchus, Pinot Noir and other varieties across two Suffolk sites, with a cellar door shop and wine flights at Hartest.

Giffords Hall grows its grapes across two sites in Hartest and Depden, in West Suffolk, first planted in 1986 and now spanning more than thirty-five acres. Giffardes Farm, as the land was called, was documented as early as 1408, long before a vine went into the ground, and wine has been sold under the Giffords Hall label since 2009.

Wine flights are poured in the Cellar Door Shop with no need to book; large groups are asked to give advance notice. A separate guided tour through the vines can be booked for those who want it. Sometimes open on weekends in summer.
