Wine Garden of England

Our vineyards are proud to be part of the leading region in the UK for wine production. The WineGB Awards have once again recognised Kent with some impressive wins. We often win awards because Kent is the best place in the UK to grow fruit due to the longest hours of sunshine and pretty amazing soil. Match that with some of the world's best winemakers and we are starting to look like a very interesting wine region on the world stage. Our vines are only an hour or so from London - you should come and see for yourself 🥂 Special mention goes to the winners within Wine Garden of England: Chapel Down Group Gusbourne Westwell Wine Estates Simpsons Wine Estate Biddenden Vineyards Ltd Yotes Court Vineyard

What a venue for our Summer Celebration 🍾 Kent wine is seriously on the map! Looking forward to the year ahead.

Fascinating article in Vineyard Magazine by Stephen Skelton regarding the inevitable rise of land prices in Kent and the Southeast due to its suitability for planting premium vineyards. Another tick for Kent Vineyards, especially considering how close they are to London, accessing a rich tourism market. https://lnkd.in/ez2hSsj5 #landprices #kentvineyards #winetourism #southeast

Thanks so much to Decanter for this wonderful article about touring the Wine Garden of England, Kent. Such a diverse choice of vineyards, hotels and restaurants. And we are the sunniest county, so there's no reason to go anywhere else! #visitkent #wineries #winetourism https://lnkd.in/eCaERfHH

This year's grape harvest report is provided by Biddenden Vineyards Ltd, the oldest vineyard in Kent. The Barnes family can remember some bumper vintages, like the one in this picture. (That tractor ❤️ ) 2023 is another year that will go down in history. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/e94Fk_Sq

Lovely to be working with such a great magazine that represents Kent so inspirationally.

This mouthwatering article in Condé Nast Traveler by Libby Brodie gives a fantastic snapshot of what you can experience in Kent. https://lnkd.in/eZVRSr6x

Vineyards are not just for Summer. Atmospheric and cosy experiences can be had all through the winter months. Perfect for a team away day. This was taken at Westwell Wine Estates this morning. #awayday #englishvineyard #englishwine #getoutofthecity
