Gusbourne
Wine Garden of England
Our vision is simple. We strive to create the finest wines in the world.
An uncompromising quest for perfection and a fastidious approach to detail is at the heart of everything we do. We ensure only the best grapes are used in our winemaking by growing and hand-picking them ourselves to present an authentic reflection of a time and place in each of our bottles, by producing exclusively vintage wines that are unique to each growing season.
Just an hour from London, come and visit us in Appledore, Kent, to explore our vineyards and find out what makes this corner of England so special for winemaking. Our tasting room, The Nest, is open to visitors all year round. We are open daily 10am - 5pm, stocking a range of limited edition wines that are available to taste and buy exclusively at The Nest.
Join us for a guided tour to discover how we produce our award-winning English Sparkling Wines. Tours are run in small groups and hosted by our friendly, knowledgeable staff. We can also take private bookings for tours of various group sizes.
If you prefer to explore at your own pace, visit The Nest during opening hours to collect a map and a self-guided tour of the vineyards, before heading back to enjoy a tasting, or a glass of wine.
Throughout the course of the year we host many unique events at The Nest, such as dinners prepared by some of the UK’s most talented chefs, lunches and tastings hosted by our winemaking team, Sunday lunches, and picnics in the vineyard. These often feature vertical tastings or special wines from our library.
We also host tailor-made private events and corporate functions. We can take private bookings for tours of various group sizes, accomodate different times and tailor various elements of each tour. Please contact the Nest team to discuss your requirements.
