We are extremely proud to share that we won the ‘Family Business of the Year’ award at the 2024 York Press Business Awards.
The awards, now in their 34th year, are hosted annually, to celebrate success, recognise achievement, and highlight innovation in the York district.
The vineyard first started out as a hobby for Gillian and Chris in 2000 with just 35 vines, and it has since grown to involve three generations of the Spakouskas family with 25,000 vines nurtured year-round.
Tim, son of Chris and Gillian, manages our Yorkshire Heart Brewery which was established in 2011 with Tim’s wife Georgina, and their son, Henry also working at the vineyard.
We are delighted to have won the award in recognition for the work that we do and the business that we have built over the past 20 years. Our wider team, who often feel like family too, are also a huge part of our success and we would like to thank them for their continued hard work and support!
