Wine Vineyard Tour Tillingham

Tillingham is a “let’s disappear for a night” date at a boutique winery, farmhouse, and restaurant on the Dengie Peninsula in Essex, about an hour-ish east of London, then you’re suddenly in open-sky countryside with vines and salty air.

​

You show up, drink wine made basically right there, eat a seasonal menu that tastes like someone actually cares, then either wander the rows like you’re in an indie film or call it and stay overnight in their minimalist, quietly sexy rooms.

​

It’s romantic in a low-effort way, like linen shirts, golden hour, and the kind of calm that makes you accidentally talk about your feelings.

​

Why choose Tillingham?

​

✅ Countryside main character energy: Vines, big skies, and that soft, end-of-day light that makes everyone look better  

​

✅ Wine that feels personal: You’re drinking what they’re growing and making, it’s intimate, not performative  

​

✅ Dinner does the flirting for you: Seasonal, local, and plated like a love language, you will have something to talk about  

​

✅ Stay the night, avoid the buzzkill commute: Turning a date into a little getaway is objectively hotter than racing for the last train  

​

✅ Just chaotic enough: A little tipsy vineyard wander, a little “should we move here,” a little “wait, are we in a movie?”
