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.
