The Prince of Wales - Stow Maries

15/06/2026

We already knew we were lucky to be in such a special part of the world, but after a fantastic day at the Crouch Valley Trade English Wine Tasting () we’re even more convinced that the Crouch Valley is something truly exceptional.

Particularly fascinating was the talk by , who explored the unique terroir of the Crouch Valley. His verdict? If you’re making still wine, this is one of the very best places to do it. It also turns out that the clay mud we’ve been carrying around on the bottom of our wellies for years might be annoying for us, but it’s great for vines!

It was great to catch up with some familiar faces from Hollands Crouch Valley Wine and Martin's Lane Vineyard 🇬🇧, but also we loved discovering a fantastic wide-ranging selection of wines produced right here on our doorstep, in this sunny corner of the country.

Ever since taking over the Prince of Wales, we’ve been determined to celebrate our position at the heart of the Crouch Valley. After today, we’re feeling more inspired than ever. Exciting times.

Expect many more Crouch Valley wine tasting evenings at the Prince of Wales. In the meantime pop in for a glass of Hollands Crouch Valley Wine

Please sign this one🙏. We normally avoid the politics stuff, but this campaign by Tom Kerridge is just too close to home.

Pubs are at the heart of our communities, combating loneliness, creating jobs (particularly for young people), supporting local suppliers, providing venues for family events, and, in general, bringing people together at a time when it is very much needed. Yet they continue to face a disproportionate VAT burden. A lower VAT rate would help protect these vital businesses and make visits more affordable for customers. Click below.

What a fab group we had ❤️and a great chance to celebrate the fantastic English wine being grown and made here in Stow Maries. The day involved a vineyard walk, vine talk, vineyard tasting, then back for more tasting in the pub and a farm~to~fork dinner with meat from our own farm, with some guests staying the night. Very proud of our little corner of the country. ❤️
