Absolutely! And with this year’s mild weather, we’ve heard that the local vineyards have had a super year, so we were really keen to head out into the Essex countryside to taste – and buy – the local wine. Our Purleigh pilgrimage has become a regular part of our Christmas season, and fits in with our buy-local gift-giving strategy. New Hall Vineyards invites the public for an over-the-top Christmas festival every December, complete with a Christmas maze, Santa’s Grotto, Christmas crafts, and a massive Christmas village. It’s silly, wild, and fun for the whole family. And the wine’s good, too!
