Being Kent's oldest commercial vineyard, Biddenden Vineyards is a great day out for those who want to learn more about the processes, practices, knowledge and great skill involved in producing high quality wines and ciders. Set within 23 acres of gentle south-facing slope in the Kent countryside, this vineyard grows no fewer than eleven varieties of grape, producing white, red, rose and high quality sparkling wines. If you like a tipple of cider too, then you'll enjoy the traditional Kentish apple and pear juice ciders produced at Biddenden.
Biddenden Vineyards specialises largely in German varieties of grape including Ortega, Huxelrebe, Bacchus, Schonburger and Reichensteiner. One of the best times to visit is of course during harvest time in the latter half of September, when you can see the presses of the winery in operation. Or perhaps you'd like to witness the bottling of the wine which takes place early in the following year?
