saturdays - 11am and 2pm, £20 a head

Our Saturday tours start at 11am and 2pm, hosted by either vineyard owners or vineyard manager.

Visitors are welcome from February to December on Saturdays, 10.30am - 5pm, to view our easily accessible demonstration vineyard, Art gallery and Vineyard shop and sample our wines.

But for a more immersive experience, we recommend you pre-book a Guided Tour & Tasting. These take you behind the scenes with co-owner Richard or vineyard manager Andy, where you can explore our main vineyard and learn how our family started Chartham Vineyard in this beautiful corner of Kent.

On the tour you’ll learn the stories behind our wines and how they are made followed by a tutored tasting of still and sparkling wines from our range.

In bad weather, instead of outdoor tours, renowned raconteur Richard hosts illustrated talks and tastings in our Great Barn or art gallery to reveal a year in the life of Chartham Vineyard.
