Great Lodge and Bardfield Vineyard

Great Lodge is a tranquil, rural estate in North Essex. Originally a medieval deer park, it was given to Anne of Cleves by Henry VIII when their marriage was annulled and the magnificent Grade 1 listed brick and tile barn dates from that period. Nestled behind the barn is Bardfield Vineyard which has been producing award-winning wine for almost 30years. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the vineyard and wine tasting either with a self-guided trail or for groups by appointment. Their wine can be purchased from their vineyard shop. Also enjoy their beautiful walled gardens, a herd of alpacas, or venture further afield to explore their woodland and oxlip colony. Their newly refurbished barn conversions provide stylish bed and breakfast or self-catering accommodation in 7 double or twin rooms.
