Dedham Vale Vineyard

Dedham Vale Vineyard - Dog friendly place to go in Colchester, Essex

Dedham Vale Vineyard has been producing outstanding wine from its 40 acre estate for over 25 years. Lying on the edge of the Stour Valley at Boxted, the vineyard grows and produces six styles of award-winning English wine and Carter’s Cider.

At the heart of the vineyard is an enthusiasm for quality and taste and a commitment to producing the finest still and sparkling Essex wines.  We use locally grown fruit in our Carter’s Cider and champion local producers at all our events reinforcing Dedham Vale Vineyard’s reputation as a centre of excellence for local artisanal products.

Dogs on leads are welcome to accompany owners exploring the trails around the Vineyard. The vineyard is the perfect starting point to explore the Essex Way and beautiful walks through the Stour Valley.

Tom and Ben Bunting (and canine assistants Ruby and Tilly) look forward to welcoming you and sharing their passion for English wine. The vineyard hosts events throughout the year and is open for wine tastings, please see the Dedham Vale Vineyard website for details.
