Althorne

About

Althorne is a picturesque village nestled on the Dengie Peninsula in Essex. Its name originates from Old English, meaning “place at the burnt thorn-tree.” This tranquil location offers a blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and award-winning local produce.

Althorne is conveniently connected to London via a train station located on the outskirts of the village, making it an accessible countryside escape.

The gentle slopes between Althorne and Latchingdon provide ideal conditions for grape cultivation, home to two exceptional vineyards:

Offering amazing views down the Crouch Valley both vineyards are renowned for producing award-winning wines and offer on-site facilities including a café and bistro. Visitors are encouraged to check opening times before planning a visit.
