East Kent has the advantages of relatively low rain-fall, and being bounded by the sea on three sides, enjoys some protection from frost. The vineyard currently extends over an area of 3.5 acres, and is of a size that still allows close attention to detail so as to produce grapes of the best possible quality. Modern New-world techniques are used throughout to preserve the delicate freshness of the fruit, for which the best English wines are noted. The use of stainless steel tanks, cool processing and fermentation, and protection from air are all important to achieve the best results. The vineyard strongly supports the Quality Wine Scheme which, being administered by the Wine Standards Board, ensures that a high quality standard is maintained.
Wines are available for direct sale.
The vineyard is open every day from April to October 10.30 am - 6 pm, and most days in the winter depending on the weather, but closes at dusk. Admission and wine tasting are free. Free mini-tours, lasting about 20 minutes, are also available, in which visitors are shown how the grapes are grown and wine made. Car parking is free and there is also a free picnic area. There is good access for the disabled.
