About Kents Green Vineyard

Kents Green Vineyard stands as a charming and historic destination in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside, representing one of England's long-established wineries that has been cultivating vines since 1979. This small artisan vineyard, situated near the village of Kents Green in the GL19 3AJ postcode area, embodies the traditional character of English wine production while embracing the unique terroir of the West of England region.

The vineyard spans approximately 0.20 hectares of carefully tended vines, producing limited quantities of distinctive English wines that reflect the dedication and expertise accumulated over more than four decades of winemaking. The grape varieties cultivated at Kents Green include the popular English wine grape Bacchus, known for producing aromatic white wines with crisp acidity and floral notes, the versatile Muller-Thurgau grape that thrives in the British climate, and the early-ripening Precoce variety that ensures a successful harvest even in challenging seasons.

Visitors to Kents Green Vineyard are welcome to explore this intimate winery, though visits are conducted strictly by appointment, ensuring each guest receives a personalised and attentive experience. The appointment-only policy allows the vineyard to offer dedicated tours and tasting sessions where visitors can discover the story behind the wines, learn about the winemaking process, and sample the carefully crafted bottles produced from the estate's small but dedicated vineyard plantings.

As part of the broader landscape of West wineries, Kents Green Vineyard contributes to the rich tapestry of English wine production in Gloucestershire, a county increasingly recognised for its quality vineyards and innovative winemakers. The vineyard's long-established history places it among the pioneers of modern English viticulture, predating the recent boom in UK wine production and maintaining its commitment to traditional methods alongside the evolution of English wine as a respected category in the global wine market.

Wine enthusiasts seeking to experience authentic English wine production will find Kents Green Vineyard offers a genuine and intimate glimpse into small-scale British winemaking, with each bottle representing the care and attention that defines this historic Gloucestershire estate.
