Mix and Match Venues

Design your own Tour. The venues are all within easy reach of one another. You may want to visit a couple of vineyards before lunch - and a 3rd after lunch before being dropped off at your chosen disembarkation point. Or maybe, a shorter tour ...

Bespoke Private Tours

For 10-22 guests, each tour includes a vineyard and winery visit, followed by lunch at one of our carefully chosen fine dining establishments. We will pick up and drop off you and your party at your chosen point of departure/set down in our luxury mini-bus. ...

So how did this all start? – it was a lightbulb moment when in 2019, I came up with the idea of a wine tasting event to raise money for Sibton Park Cricket Club, which was in dire financial straits at the time. A spring and early summer spent visiting numerous Kent vineyards (a tough job, but somebody had to do it) resulted in a hugely successful evening for all concerned – and brought a sudden awareness of a burgeoning growth industry right on our doorstep.

We certainly knew very little about Kentish wines at that time – and after talking to friends and family there was a huge amount of interest to know more. So, it was handy to have a special birthday coming up in early 2020 – and I thought that visiting a couple of vineyards followed by lunch, might make for a good day out. Well, it was a fantastic day out and it was then that I realised this really could be a business. The pandemic of course, hit soon after, but we took stock for a couple of years and refined the business to make it what it is today.

We have very much concentrated on providing a quality offering – and I’m confident that we have achieved that: whether that’s the luxury minibus to pick up/drop off at a place of your choice; the award-winning wines produced by our vineyard partners – or the exceptional venues chosen for your luncheon experience. All of the latter provide wonderful seasonal menus – and have built up reputations locally for exceptional quality. All of the venues are award-winning – the latest in April 2024, when The Kings Arms, Elham won ‘County Winner – The National Pub and Bar Awards 2024’.

Sarah and I just love what we do – what is there not to like about visiting friends in the vineyards – and then introducing you to fantastic dining establishments. We know you and your guests will have a great time too – so come and give us a try!
