Ark Sessions

Nestled within 30 acres of picturesque countryside near Sudbury in the heart of the East Anglian Stour Valley, Mount Farm Vineyard is a family-run vineyard producing award-worthy English wines and unique vineyard dining experiences.

Established in 2019, the vineyard has grown to more than 20,000 vines across six hectares, thriving in the region's sunny summers, cooling Atlantic breezes and fertile clay-loam soils. Mount Farm cultivates a range of grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Bacchus, Gamay and Pinot Meunier, producing premium still wines under the ARK Wines label that showcase the quality and potential of English viticulture.

The vineyard is the passion project of Hans and Kristin Engström and their daughter Amanda, who transformed a former farm into a thriving vineyard after relocating from Sweden. With Amanda studying Wine Production at Plumpton College, the family has combined innovation, dedication and a love of the land to create one of Suffolk's emerging wine destinations.

Alongside its wines, Mount Farm is home to Jord Projects, a dining experience that brings together exceptional food, English wine and the beauty of the Suffolk countryside. Set within the vineyard's indoor restaurant, Jord Projects invites guests to gather around the table for seasonal dining paired with Ark Wines.

Every Sunday, the vineyard hosts its popular Sunday Lunches, where resident chef Hans Engström prepares generous, sharing-style feasts using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Designed to bring family and friends together, these relaxed lunches celebrate great food, good company and the pleasure of gathering around the table.

Throughout the year, Mount Farm also hosts intimate private dinners, special guest chef experiences and a varied calendar of events, including live music, DJ nights and seasonal celebrations, bringing a vibrant cultural offering to the heart of the Suffolk countryside.

Designed to celebrate Suffolk's produce, landscape and growing food scene, Jord Projects offers a memorable experience for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy great food, award-winning English wine and the welcoming atmosphere of vineyard life.
