DOMAINE EVREMOND
Domaine Evremond is just one of the Kentish vineyards that makes up the Wine Garden of England ( www . winegardenofengland . co . uk ). A designated group of vineyards that work together , the Wine Garden of England aims to bring more visitors to the county while celebrating both our wine industry heritage and future . “ We want everyone to discover the magic that attracted these wineries and their founders to establish themselves in the sunniest corner of England ,” says brand manager Jo Smith . “ A place where the climate , soil and landscape combine to allow them to craft genuinely great wines .”
A keen horticulturist and a lover of homegrown produce it is no surprise that King Charles himself is an advocate for the British agricultural industry and has a keen interest in viticulture , especially the UK ’ s everexpanding wine scene . With this in mind there really is no better way to toast the new monarch than with a glass of wine that has come from Kentish soil . insideKENT spoke to the Wine Garden of England members and asked them how they would be celebrating the coronation and which wines they recommend we toast with .
