Best Child Friendly Vineyards in Kent
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.

Featured vineyards
Children are welcome at The Mount Vineyard for food and drink, but tasting experiences are strictly for adults. While there is no specific children's menu or play area, children are allowed in dining areas and must remain seated with their family and be supervised at all times due to a large pond on site.
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.
