Escape to… The Goudhurst Inn
June 7th – 8th
Just nine miles from the winery and in the heart of Kent’s beautiful agricultural area. A pastoral landscape, with the Goudhurst Inn at its centre, you’ll stay in this historic village with easy access to exploring our vineyards and the wider Weald area.
Escape to… The Tickled Trout
June 28th – 29th
One of the region’s most historic regions, with beautiful walks and picture-postcard churches, village greens and riverbanks. Stay in the stunning Tickled Trout Inn; a stunning building with a dark, and mysterious, past – with our winery just a short journey away.
Escape to… The Woolpack, Tenterden
July 5th-6th
With over 500 years of history serving the beautiful market town of Tenterden, The Woolpack is a local institution. Stepping into this historic inn with its characterful bedrooms, you get a real sense of its incredible heritage, whilst the wider town offers more chances to explore.
Escape to… The Windmill at Hollingbourne
September 13-14th
Hollingbourne is one of Kent’s best-kept secrets. With a history dating back to Domes Day, and over 100 listed buildings in the village alone, this is a must-see for walkers and history lovers alike. The Windmill has been proudly part of the village since at least the 1840s, and serves some of the most exceptional food in the county. With beautiful rooms recently renovated, you’re guaranteed a wonderful stay.
Escape to… The Ship at Rye
20-21st September
Visit “one of the most beautiful small towns in Europe” (Conde Nast) – just a short train ride from St Pancras – and stay in a historic, smugglers inn at its harbourside. What’s not to like? Rye is a dream location, with cobbled streets and historic, crooked buildings. The Ship, which has been part of the town for over 200 years, makes for a perfect bolt-hole with a seafood menu and cosy bedrooms. A perfect weekend escape combining sea-air, English wine and exceptional food.
