"Taste some excellent English wine, produced in beautiful surroundings"
Overview
The first vineyard at Balfour Winery was planted in 2002, but already it’s helped put English wine on the wine map. A visit to the estate, set in beautiful Kent countryside, is a real must for wine buffs. Take tours around the vines, walk through the orchards and woodlands, and of course, spend a little time tasting the wine.
