Colchester Ridge Estate Winery, Essex

This was 1st visit to this winery today.🍂 The experience was very pleasing .As I am not a wine drinker 🍷 ,just went to visit and know more about wines and the winery.🍇 One of the staff gave us a tour ,was very courteous and let me roam in the space . Lots of guest 😊were there ..Very well organised sitting arrangements. I was told 'March Madnesss' festival 🎪is going on. they have around 12 acres of land under grapes cultivation. Lots of patio space 😂 is available. Summers 🌻must be worth visiting this place. Decent prices of the wines ..I bought a pack though.🙃 They have good menu 🎏options available. Refer pics.

Only reason it’s a 2 is because of such a bad services, no smile, rough, don’t care, not professional, but the wine and food was good. Because of the service I did not buy anything 🙌🏼

I had a great lunch experience with friends: we were welcomed warmly and everyone loved their food. You have the option of adding a personal baguette, preserves, and cheese plate to your wine tasting which I thought was a nice feature! Reservations were easy to make - I will be back!

Disclaimer - I am a novice wine drinker and this was my first wine tour. That being said, this was my favourite winery in this area. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and didn’t rush even when it got a bit busy. The Sauvignon Blanc was delish and they have cheese available to eat with your tasting and to purchase separately. The interior tasting space is nothing to write home about but entering down the long laneway through the corn is a nice experience.

When I say at that Stephanie was an angel on earth, I mean it from the core of my being. Our wine and food arrived immediately and beautifully, and Steph was attentive without being overbearing. We felt well cared for, the food was incredible, and the wine even better. We can’t wait to come back on a Friday to meet her pup Posh 🐶
