What an incredible, delicious and educational evening we enjoyed in Saffron Walden last week. Thank you to our wonderful hosts at Saffron Grange, Nick, Amy, Sophie and the rest of the team who were absolutely amazing. Sophie left no stone unturned when giving us the history of the vineyard, as we learned about the important stages during growth, the development and year-round care of the vines as well as the importance of the chalk lines beneath the vineyard.
