Think vineyard visits are just for summer? Think again. Autumn brings a vibrant new charm to Balfour Winery. As the golden sun dips behind the vines, join us at The Winemaker’s Kitchen for an evening of fine dining, open Fridays and Saturdays. Start with a glass of sparkling on the terrace overlooking Nannette’s Vineyard, and take in the season’s beauty.

We have some availability for dinner this weekend. Come and join us.

We’ve got spare wellies, umbrellas for showers, and blankets to keep you cosy outside.

The golden hues of autumn begin to drape the rolli

The golden hues of autumn begin to drape the rolling Kent countryside and we’re just 10 days away from the start of harvest at Balfour Winery.

A time of great anticipation, this is a celebration of togetherness; when our team, nature, and the fruit we’ve carefully nurtured come together in harmony. Each vine tells a story of the land over the past year.

Soon, we’ll begin turning this year’s harvest into the wines we so proudly share with you.  #EnglishWine #VineyardLife #Harvest2024 #KentWine #VisitKent #EnglishSparkling #WineHarvest #BritishWinery #VineyardViews #EnglishVineyards #WineCountryUK #TravelInspiration #CountrysideEscape #ExploreEngland #WineLoversUK

Late summer at Balfour Winery is nothing short of

Late summer at Balfour Winery is nothing short of enchanting. As summer’s vibrant hues fade into the warm golds and oranges of early autumn, the ancient woodlands come alive. Blackberries and elderberries abound, sustaining the rich biodiversity. Even common lizards, basking in the lingering heat, can be spotted, soaking up the sun before the chill of October sets in. Early fungi, like the iconic fly agaric (the muse of many children’s drawings), hint at autumn’s arrival, with more to come as the nights grow cooler.

October marks the transition from summer’s bounty to autumn’s richness. The landscape is alive with the colours of berries, chestnuts, and acorns, as nature’s pantry prepares for winter. Fungi emerge overnight, with shaggy ink-caps and parasols adding to the tapestry.

Windfall apples attract butterflies like the vibrant red admiral and distinctive commas, having their final feast before winter’s embrace. Deer begin their rutting season, a dramatic display of nature’s raw power and beauty, as bucks battle for dominance.

Autumn’s arrival is unmistakable—harvest arrives, days shorten and introduce magnificent sunsets, as well as the spectacle of starling murmurations at dusk.

A true marvel of nature’s choreography.

⭐️ Happy International Albariño Day! ⭐️

Today, we celebrate one of the wine world's most beloved varietals with an exclusive release of our acclaimed Albariño 2022. 🍇✨

With fewer than 450 bottles available, this is your opportunity to experience one of England's most important wines.

Our Albariño 2022 has been met with high praise. Experts highlight its vibrant acidity, delicate floral notes, and a finish that truly captures the essence of our vineyard.

Why Wildflower Meadows Matter When you arrive at

Why Wildflower Meadows Matter

When you arrive at Balfour Winery you are greeted with a majestic natural landscape. Standing on the balcony, overlooking the vineyard, invokes the notion of the sublime; an idea both philosophical and romantic. It is more than beautiful, it’s exciting. The vineyards are framed by ancient woodlands and wildflower meadows. Respecting this environment is fundamental to our philosophy.

The wildflower meadows surrounding the vineyard are a haven of colour. Field poppers, cornflowers, bird’s-foot trefoil and meadow buttercups emerge between swaying long grasses. This retreat for pollinators provides a moist refuge for frogs, toads and newts. Butterflies, damselflies and ladybirds dance between the seemingly never-ending flowers.

Since the 1930s, the UK has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows. This loss is more than aesthetic, these meadows provide shelter and food for important pollinators including bees. There are more than 250 species of bee in the UK, each playing a vital part in supporting the ecosystem and has a real impact on the food we eat.

Our love for wildflower meadows, and the nature they protect, extends far beyond the boundaries of our 400-acre estate. We’ve partnered with the Kent Wildlife Trust to rewild an area of the Kent Countryside as part of our campaign to give back to the earth that produced our beautiful wine.

We’re donating to the Kent Wildlife Trust with every bottle of Nannette’s Rosé 2023. The pale pink, bone dry Rosé is Nature’s Perfect Pairing. It is perfectly balanced and bursting with summer berry flavours, and a refreshing zest. This is made for sipping in sun-strewn gardens.

Now £18.75 with 25% off.

It’s English Wine Week! Come with us on our trip to Marden Meadow to check in on our rewilding progress with @kentwildlife

We’re helping to rewilding this beautiful meadow through sales of our gold award-winning Nannette’s Rosé 2023.

Currently, the experts at the Kent Wildlife Trust are working on water management of the area to protect a highly diverse section of the meadow that acts as a natural seed repository for the area.

Later on in the year, grazing animals will be introduced to “cut back” the grass and, importantly, remove nutrients from the land. Counterintuitively, removing the nutrients is essential in promoting diversity.

This light, pale style of rosé pairs perfectly with sunny days spent relaxing in the garden.

Now just £18.75 per bottle!   Every glass of Nannette’s is a toast to a greener future. Join us in our efforts to rewild Britain, one sip at a time.
