About

Wine Tasting in the Garden of England with Gusbourne
 
There are some experiences you simply have to make time for.  Just an hour from London, nestled in the Garden of England, you’ll find Gusbourne’s Kent vineyards. There, you can explore the vines with a passionate guide who will take the time to explain exactly how their critically acclaimed wines came to be made in the southeast of England.
 
Enjoy a delicious lunch that is perfectly paired with Gusbourne’s wines, showcasing local produce from around Kent and Sussex. Afterwards, there is plenty of time for tasting. Relaxed, unhurried and expertly tutored, your experience will be tailored to you, whether you’re starting your wine journey, or well underway.
 
When it’s time, you’ll leave refreshed and inspired, because a day in their beautiful corner of Kent is time well spent.
 

Visit

Visit Gusbourne in Appledore, Kent to explore the vineyards and visit The Nest, their luxurious tasting room.
