Kenton Park Estate produces a range of English wines, including sparkling and still styles, alongside estate-made sparkling cider. Grape varieties grown include Bacchus, Solaris, Ortega, Pinot Noir Précoce, Rondo, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, reflecting a mix of classic and hybrid plantings suited to the Devon climate.

Wine production takes place on site, with an emphasis on small-batch releases and estate character rather than large-scale output. While the estate has received awards over the years, the focus remains on experiential wine tourism alongside winemaking. The estate has indicated ongoing development of its winery facilities as part of longer-term growth plans.
