Wine lovers invited to raise a glass for good cause at Essex vineyard
WINE lovers have been invited to raise a glass for a good cause at a charity walk in Essex.
The inaugural Dedham Wine Walk, taking place at Dedham Vale Vineyard in Boxted, will be held on Sunday, July 13, in support of St Helena Hospice's 40th anniversary.
Organised by St Helena Hospice, the event promises a scenic 5km stroll through the vineyard's 40-acre estate, with two glasses of wine included in the ticket price.
Kayleigh Jowers, senior events fundraiser, said: "Join us as we celebrate our 40th anniversary with a walk around the picturesque vineyard and raise a glass to St Helena Hospice.
"Dedham Wine Walk is a perfect chance to gather friends or family together to sip local wine and enjoy breathtaking views as you meander through nature."
Walkers will enjoy views across the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as they pass through woodland and pasture.
A glass of locally produced wine will be served during the walk, with another waiting at the finish line.
Guests can also pre-order a charcuterie picnic box, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.
After the walk, participants can enjoy live music from Paul Steven Wood and explore further refreshments, including additional wines, cocktails and sweet treats from Gaia Suffolk's Eton Mess dessert bar.
The walk begins at 11am at The Vineyard, Green Lane, Boxted, Colchester.
