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 allowed on the Chapel Down premises and can participate in self-guided vineyard walks. Although tour activities are generally requested to be avoided by children due to their in-depth nature, they are welcome on guided tours and tastings, with soft drinks provided for visitors under 18.
Brabourne Vineyard welcomes children for visits, including participation in tours where a non-drinker option is available. Children are welcome to accompany adults during bespoke tours that explore the vineyard and include time in the tasting room, which can be both indoors and outdoors depending on weather.
Children are welcome at The Vyneyarde, Westwell Wine Estates Ltd, particularly at events such as the September Local Produce Market and Friday Pizza nights, where games are also available. Let Westwell know you're planning to bring the little ones - they'll even keep them entertained during tours allowing you to fully appreciate the wine!
