Vineyards for all seasons

While a summer day wandering through the vines is spectacular, Kent’s wine country holds a unique magic all year round.

In Autumn, witness the excitement of the harvest as the vineyard becomes a hive of activity. Watch the leaves turn to rich autumn gold and red, the perfect backdrop for sampling Kent’s exciting cool-climate reds, including Pinot Noir and Divico.

In Winter, experience crisp, frosty days walking the sleeping vines, followed by the warmth of a cosy tasting room to enjoy the vintages produced by the land you’ve just explored.

In Spring, watch the countryside wake up as the first leaf buds appear, marking the exciting beginning of the next vintage.
