The Vineyard and Winery Show

For those that know me will know I am a lover of good food and fine wine, and so I’d like to highlight one of the most exciting events coming to our area this month – the Vineyard and Winery Show! This event for the UK wine industry will take place on 20^th November at the Kent County Showground in Detling.

The Vineyard Show is the go-to exhibition for English wine producers, showcasing the incredible strides Kent has made as a leader in winemaking. The English wine industry is booming, and Kent’s beautiful climate and rich landscape have helped position our county as a standout region for quality and innovation in winemaking. Local wineries, like Balfour Winery at Hush Heath and Chapel Down, are already making waves on the world stage, winning awards and gaining the favour of wine enthusiasts and celebrities alike.

The wine industry is not only vital for producing delicious wines but also plays a significant role in our local economy. From vineyards to hospitality, the entire ecosystem benefits: supply chains flourish, tourism grows, and local businesses thrive as more people visit Kent to experience its unique flavours. The Vineyard Show offers our region a platform to display the very best in English wine and to connect with a broader audience of wine professionals, enthusiasts, and buyers.

Kent’s own Produced in Kent is a fantastic supporter of our local food and drink producers, and the Vineyard Show is a proud collaboration with them to further elevate the region’s wine reputation.

So, who’s heading to the Vineyard Show? Whether you’re a vineyard owner, a local business, or simply a lover of fine wine, this is an event not to miss. Let’s celebrate Kent’s excellence together – and toast to the bright future of our local vineyards.
