It was started in 1990 with intension of planting new woodlands, wild flower meadows and creating lakes with other specific habitats for wildlife. However, due to geographical changes the land became suitable for vines. After three years, in 1993 the first grapes were harvested to be made into Carter’s Vineyards first vintage.
In 1995 on VE day, the first bottles of Carter’s Vineyards Colchester wine were sold. Since 1995, winemaking began at Carter’s Vineyards. Now the production is in the order of 25,000 bottles per year. They produce an extensive range of fine English wines, several of which are award winners.
