Tour Biddenden Vineyard in 2012

Biddenden have kicked off the new year with a busy schedule of educational vineyard tours that are set to continue in to next winter, so 2012 is the time to harness your inner oenophile and pay a visit to the Kent Vineyard.

Naturally the subject of each tour correlates with what's going on with the vines at that time of year, so attendees at the end of February will learn about pruning, while late June's guests will get to see the vines in flower and the months of September and October will be given over to talk of harvesting.

The tours, which last 40 minutes, are preceded by a cup of coffee and finish off with a tasting of Biddenden's wines, ciders and apple juices in the shop.

All tours begin at 10am and are free but booking is essential: please call 01580 291726. For a full schedule visit the Biddenden website.
