Mersea Wine

In my quest to bring to you the best produce our local counties can offer. I have come across another Essex based vineyard producing fantastic quality wines.

Mersea Wines is, unsurprisingly, located on Mersea Island between the estuaries of the Blackwater and Colne rivers. Its gently sloping, south facing fields, make for a perfect location to grow five different types of grapes, producing a variety of wines.


Mersea Island Vineyard covers some 10 acres of land and consequently manufactures 10,000 bottles of wine on their premise. If your interested in how they make their wine, then tours are available.

Mersea Wines currently produce five different wines for you to try, each catering for different tastes. Perhaps a A fruity Brut sparkling wine is your thing or a dry white wine, bursting with a beautiful aroma and the flavour of elderflowers. Sounds perfect for those approaching summer evenings.

There is a charming little tea shop on the vineyards, not only will they cook you up something delicious, you can also try out their wines and see which ones you like!
