This day trip introduces travelers to Kent, the “Garden of England,” and its growing reputation for award-winning wines. Leaving London by private vehicle, they journey through rolling countryside dotted with orchards, villages, and neatly kept vineyards. At a leading Kent winery, an expert host leads a guided walk through the vines and production areas, explaining how the region’s soils and climate create ideal conditions for sparkling and still wines.

The visit concludes with a relaxed tasting of three carefully selected wines in the estate’s tasting room. Depending on timing and preference, the day can continue with lunch in a traditional country pub and an optional second stop, either at another winery or at a nearby stately home, castle, or garden such as Hever Castle. After a full day of exploration and tasting, travelers return to London in the comfort of their private vehicle.
