Griffin Farm is a small family vineyard on the chalk near Dunstable, growing English grapes on the Chiltern slopes. It’s a modest operation rather than a big visitor attraction, and visits are by appointment only, so arrange ahead rather than turning up. Leagrave is the nearest station, about 5km to the north-east.
