Brenley Wine cultivates Bacchus, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in its Kentish vineyards. From these, they produce a diverse range of wines, including a crisp still Bacchus white, a vibrant rosé, a red wine, and a sparkling wine. The first Brenley Bacchus was released in 2020, and their philosophy is centred on making wine approachable and enjoyable for everyone.

Brenley Wine has been under the care of the Berry family for generations, combining innovative viticulture techniques with deep local knowledge to produce wines exclusively from estate-grown grapes. The estate is run sustainably, and viticulture began here in 2009 - a decade of growing experience for leading winemakers before the first Brenley-label wines were released.

The vineyards sit among fruit orchards and traditional hop gardens with open views across the Faversham countryside, giving the estate a distinctly Kentish character that runs through both the farming and the wines.

Much of the farm dates back centuries. The farmhouse is surrounded by Grade II Listed buildings including a medieval thatched granary, a tithe barn, a walled kitchen garden and a Georgian stable block - a working landscape shaped by generations of the same family.

By Car: Brenley Wine is located in the Kent countryside on Brenley Lane, near Faversham, with parking available on site.

By Public Transport: The nearest train station is Faversham. A short taxi ride from Faversham station will bring you to the vineyard.
