Kent’s mix of orchards and vineyards means many estates are already used to welcoming families. Parents will find vineyards that offer food and drink options suitable for all ages, as well as space where children aren’t underfoot. Tours aren’t designed for kids, but the day still works when estates provide places for them to sit, eat, and enjoy the fresh air alongside the vines.
Children are welcome to explore Biddenden Vineyards through self-guided tours around the vines, and the vineyard also hosts specific child-friendly events like the Easter Bunny Hunt. However, participation in guided tours and tastings is restricted to visitors aged 18 and over.
Elham Valley Vineyard is explicitly child-friendly, welcoming children and offering opportunities to walk through the vineyard, visit the garden centre and café, and potentially enjoy an on-site animal sanctuary with a developing nature trail.
