About

Crouch Ridge Vineyard is located on gentle south facing slopes overlooking the River Crouch in Althorne. The long hours of sunshine and relatively low rainfall in the area make it an ideal location for growing vines and making top quality award wining still and sparkling wines.

The vineyard was planted in 2010, with classic cool climate grape varieties. Our aim is to grow vines and produce fine wines and combine it with good, local food and a lovely place to sit and relax with friends and family overlooking the local countryside, vineyard and river.

Crouch Ridge welcomes visitors to our beautiful vineyard, and tasting room all year round; Sample our range of Still and Sparkling wines and unique dry Gin; stay and relax with delicious food and wine. Throughout the year we host a number of events, including tutored vineyard tours and tasting; dates and times are added to the website, www.crouchridge.com.  We offer a range of food to complement our wines, including boards for meat, seafood and vegetarian lovers alike, Sunday roasts, delicious deserts and a children's menu.

The tasting room has a large indoor seated area, which is heated in the Winter, and cooled down in the Summer,  it is easily accessible for disabled people. 

There is a large decking area, part of which is covered to accommodate visitors outside, and a grass area in the Vineyard with picnic benches, well behaved pets are welcome on leads in this area.
