Vineyard tours and private wine tasting experiences

The Pleasures of Wine Tasting:

Vineyard Tours
One of the highlights of a wine tour in a Kent Vineyard is the opportunity to indulge in wine tasting sessions. Guests can savor a wide variety of exquisite wines, ranging from crisp whites to rich reds and sparkling delights. With each sip, the flavors and aromas transport you to the heart of Kent’s vineyards, as you appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship involved in producing these exceptional beverages. The knowledgeable guides are on hand to provide insights into the tasting process, allowing you to develop a deeper appreciation for the complexities of each wine.

Private Wine Tasting at your holiday Cottage
Fancy bringing the wine tasting experience to you? We can arrange private wine tasting sessions in the comfort of your holiday cottage, creating a relaxed and memorable experience for you and your guests.

A knowledgeable host will guide you through a selection of carefully chosen wines, sharing insights into the flavours, regions, and winemaking process along the way. It’s a wonderful way to spend an evening with friends or family, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to enjoy something a little different during your stay.

To make the experience even more special, we can also arrange delicious extras such as a cheese board or grazing platter to enjoy alongside the wines.

Woolton Farm cider and wine tours

If you enjoy discovering local vineyards and cider makers, a visit to Kentish Pip at Woolton Farm near Canterbury is well worth adding to your itinerary. Guests can explore the farm, learn about the production process, and enjoy tastings while taking in the beautiful Kent countryside.

It all starts with apples. Kentish Pip is based at Woolton Farm near Canterbury, where the Mount Family has been growing apples for four generations.

Their products are a window into the lifestyle and ethos of their family business: working with nature and never satisfied to settle for second best.

Founded by Herbert Mount over 100 years ago growing fruit and vegetables. Now diversified into a thriving mixed crop farm, business hub and drinks business.

They produce Kentish Pip cider and their own wines from their small vineyard.

Kentish Pip has come a long way since the early days but the journey is far from over. Ten years on and drinks are at the heart of Woolton Farm. Their wines are winning some of the most prestigious awards in the world and our cider is a leading player in the craft cider market, distributed across the UK and available in Kent and London’s best venues, from Michelin Starred restaurants to indie bottle shops, M&S, Shepherd Neame, Co-op and Eurostar.

Vineyard:
They grow Bacchus, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

South facing aspect, on river gravel soils with sandy clays beneath. At only 145 feet above sea level and tucked beneath the top of the ridge, the vineyard enjoys a distinct and beneficial micro climate.

We only grow for ourselves meaning we can focus on quality over high yields and adapt to natural conditions with ease.
