Chapel Down is the best-known name in English wine and sits just outside Tenterden among the low Wealden fields. The winery runs tours and tastings, with a shop and restaurant for those who want a more polished visit.
English sparkling wine is no longer a novelty, and Chapel Down is a good place to understand why. The visit is commercial, but the vineyard setting and clear explanation of the winemaking make it worthwhile, especially if you are already in this part of Kent.
