Country What better way to celebrate this wealth of Kent countryside activity than with a wine-tasting trip to one of the county’s most eminent vineyards? Established in 1969, Biddenden Vineyards is Kent’s oldest family-run vineyard and has grown from under half an acre to an incredible 24 acres today. Open to the public throughout the year, with free admission and tastings, there’s a brilliant self-guided tour route around the vines and four-legged friends are even welcome to stroll along beside you. Near Tenterden, and something of a celebrity in vineyard circles, Chapel Down offers guided tours of its 100-acre vineyard and winery followed by tutored wine tastings for just £15 per person, giving visitors the chance to taste for themselves what makes their award-winning wines and sparkling wines loved by residents and royalty alike.
