The Mount Vineyard , Sevenoaks Since opening The Mount to guests for drinks , meals and private hire bookings , owners Simon and Sarah have concentrated on building a special hideaway where you can escape for a special slice of Kent . With nothing but the vines and open skies over Shoreham to stare at ( including the odd flypast of a Spitfire returning to Biggin Hill ), guests can let the peace and golden sunlight of the evenings take their cares away , one sip at a time . www . themountvineyard . co . uk
