Who we are
About the farm
We planted our 15-acre (about 6 ha) vineyard in 2010 in the village of Althorne, Essex, above the valley of the River Crouch; we (Ross and Sam) are both fifth-generation Essex farmers, and the family farm was previously a dairy and then an arable farm. From our Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes we make sparkling and still wines. In our Wine Barn, opened in 2019, visitors can taste and buy our wines, our café-restaurant cooks with local produce, and the terrace looks out over the vines and the river; we are open Friday to Sunday, 11am–6pm. We run guided vineyard tours and tastings, and offer accommodation in six self-catering cottages converted from the farm's former dairy and in Mal's Barn.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
