Join The English Wine Tasting Company for a relaxed and immersive day exploring the vineyards of the beautiful Crouch Valley, one of England’s most exciting and highly regarded wine regions.

Your day begins at Chelmsford station, where we’ll travel together into the heart of the Essex countryside. At our first stop, you’ll stroll through the vines with the vineyard manager and learn about the unique conditions that make the Crouch Valley such an exceptional place to grow grapes. You’ll then have the opportunity to enjoy a selection of the estate’s wines, including a special tasting directly from the barrel!

A cheese and charcuterie spread will be served for lunch before we continue on to our second stop of the day. At the next vineyard you’ll hear directly from the winemaker about how English wines are crafted, followed by a tasting of their wines.

To round off the day, The English Wine Tasting Company will host a guided tasting exploring a further selection of wines from across the Crouch Valley. This final tasting brings together different producers and styles, giving you a deeper understanding of what makes this region so special.

Throughout the day you’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions, meet the people behind the wines, and enjoy the scenery of the Essex countryside. You will also have the opportunity to purchase bottles of wine to take home with you.

We return to Chelmsford station in the late afternoon, leaving you with a new appreciation for the wines being produced right here in Essex.
