Wine Garden of England Summer Celebration 2026

Back for a fifth year, in an exciting new venue, the Wine Garden of England Summer Celebration is a wonderful day of wine tasting in Kent.

Taste wine from nine Kent producers in the idyllic surroundings of The Castle, Westenhanger - just 8 minutes walk from Westenhanger Station, on the London - Dover line.

The nine wine producers you will meet are:

• Chapel Down

• Yotes Court

• Biddenden Vineyard

• Westwell Wines

• Simpsons Wine Estate

• Domaine Evremond

• Balfour Winery

• Gusbourne

• Squerryes

When you arrive, you'll be given a free Riedel tasting glass that you can use all day and take home as a souvenir. You'll also be given a tote bag with lots of goodies, plus a very useful showguide and Wine Garden of England handbook to keep all year. Most importantly, you'll be given a book of tasting vouchers that you will need for your free tastings - one from each of our nine producers.

The tasting tents close at 6pm, so make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy them. There will be live music in the main marquee once tasting tents have closed. You can buy wines all day from the bar, relax in the grounds and enjoy the many food traders. There will also be interviews and special tastings throughout the day.
