Our favourite vineyards in the area

In the last 20 years over 50 new vineyards have opened in Kent, some of which are right on our doorstep. Many of them you can visit, tour and see the wine making process in action. Plus you’ll get to taste a glass or two as well!

We’ve put together a list of our favourite vineyards in the area. Grab yourself a bottle and pour a glass after a long day on the vineyard trail.

Chapel down vineyard

Based close to the picturesque market town of Tenterden, Chapel Down produces a world-class range of sparkling and still wines, as well as spirits, beers and ciders. All of which is created from fruit grown in the South-East of England.

The vineyard itself boasts a number of tours and experiences, a cellar door store and a two AA Rosette and Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant specialising in modern British cuisine.

The vines at Biddenden
