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? Heralded
as the Wine Garden of England, Kent is proud to
boast a stunning array of award-winning vineyards
which produce globally heralded wines and English
Sparkling Wines.
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. Embrace tradition at Gusbourne
in the rural enclave of Appledore, on an estate that
dates back to 1410. Head further north to the rolling
hills of Tonbridge, to the family-run Hush Heath Estate to
discover the home of the award-winning Balfour Wine.
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. And
of course, you can discover more than one vineyard a day
on a guided wine tour on foot or bicycle.
