AT A GLANCE
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE TOUR?
MEET THE FAMILY
We are a family-run vineyard with an all-in approach! One minute you’ll see Surinder dazzling the guests on the vineyard tours, Ben (Dad) on the tractor and maybe catch a glimpse of Surjit (Mum) tending to the vines. Not forgetting our vineyard manager Bailey (our pup), who loves patrolling and of course causing general havoc.
SCENIC BEAUTY
Nestled in the Kent countryside, amidst a rolling green landscape, lies a hidden gem, called Meopham Valley Vineyard. Surrounded by beautiful meadows, a refreshing breeze carries the scents of wildflowers and freshly cut grass. With the sun glistening on the horizon, illuminating the valley below, you won't want to leave. It’s truly one of the scenic beauties of Kent.
GRAPE TO GLASS
Creating exceptional wines begins with the quality of our grapes. Join our experienced tour guide for a leisurely stroll around the vineyard, where you'll learn about the vineyard lifecycle, our unique terroir, the harvest and the challenges we face cultivating 10 grape varieties. Discover the foundations of our craft and the secrets behind our wines.
TUTORED WINE TASTING
Get ready for an unforgettable experience that’s both fun and informative! We’ll kick things off with the core principles of wine tasting, guiding you through each vintage and revealing our unique winemaking philosophy, including the art of blending. There's no better way to showcase each wine's unique character than by tasting them. You'll sample seven exquisite wines, and yes, you'll definitely need to arrange for a designated driver for the journey home!
CHARCUTERIE AND CHEESE BOARD
Get ready to embark on a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing and your appetite fully satisfied! Our Charcuterie and Cheese board is meticulously sourced from the finest Kentish producers and expertly paired with fresh, delectable accompaniments. Indulge in our sharer board, featuring three varieties of air-dried meats, four types of saucisson, and four exquisite cheeses. These are perfectly complemented by a generous assortment of crackers, breads, chutneys, olives, gherkins, sun-dried tomatoes, butter, grapes, strawberries and pecans.
