There is a reason world-class food producers such as Maldon Salt and Wilkin & Sons Tiptree Jams flourish in the Maldon District. Some attribute it to our local microclimate, and others to the passion of local farmers and food producers. Whatever the reason, the Maldon District is very proud of its gastro menu. From independent restaurants and tea rooms, to celebrated vineyards and micro-breweries, there is plenty to satisfy any appetite.
From Constable Country to the Crouch Valley, the Grape and Grain Trail will take you to award-winning vineyards, breweries and distilleries.

Our local producers each offer something unique in taste and experience, and their numbers are growing year and year, so there's always something new to try.
