BIDDENDEN VINEYARD
CHEGWORTH VALLEY
Biddenden, Kent’ s original commercial vineyard, is owned and managed independently by the Barnes family. Today the single estate vineyard spans 23 acres of gentle south facing slopes situated in a sheltered valley, just outside the picturesque Wealden village of Biddenden. 11 different grape varieties are grown to produce its array of award-winning White, Rosé, Red and Sparkling English wines.
Biddenden also produces a great selection of ciders and juices. Crafted using the Barnes’ family recipe, Biddenden’ s ciders are made from carefully selected, locally sourced culinary and dessert apples giving the cider a more wine like style. Biddenden’ s much loved, classic, farmpressed apple and pear juices are naturally full of sweetness and with no added sugar.
Visitors are welcome to stroll around the vineyard, with tastings available in the shop which is open daily and also stocks a selection of local and regional produce. Biddenden offers Charity Guided Tours on Saturday mornings all year and Wednesday mornings June to September. Private guided tours can be booked in advance. Biddenden hosts its annual‘ Taste the Best of Produced in Kent’ food day on the second Sunday every June and its Christmas Shop is open from the beginning of November to Christmas Eve.

Chegworth Valley is a family owned and run organic farm situated in the heart of the Kent countryside near Harrietsham.
Established in 1983 by David and Linda Deme and with the second generation now fully involved, the farm covers over 200 acres planted with a wide variety of apples and pears, soft fruit, vegetables and salads.
Chegworth Valley’ s award-winning range of juices are also made on the farm using hand selected fruit which is often pressed within hours of being picked.
The juice is pressed in small batches, every one of which is taste-tested by a member family to ensure the best flavour and quality possible.
As well as having two London shops and a farm gate shop which is open seasonally, Chegworth Valley offers next day home delivery of their produce and juices, including fruit and vegetable boxes throughout the whole of Kent and London.
