Wine & Cheese Tasting

UNCOVER THE CHARM OF THE RIVER CROUCH

Wine & Cheese Tasting Cruise

Enjoy a glass of award-winning Barons Lane White, Rose, and Red wines, carefully selected from Essex-based New Hall wine estate, paired with award-winning cheeses supplied by local cheesemonger, Feast & Fromage.
Once we set off from the marina, why not take the opportunity to explore the different seating areas around the cruiser and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the River Crouch. We will travel approximately 12 nautical miles on our one-and-a-half-hour cruise – passing sailboats, fishermen, beautiful farmland, and local wildlife.

Upon your arrival at Fambridge Marina, we will greet you at the end car park, next to the last gangway, and guide you along the walkway to the cruiser. Once on board, there will be a short safety briefing and a chance to take your seats before we set-off to enjoy the day.
