About Wayfarer Wines (Highfield Farm)

Wayfarer Wines at Highfield Farm stands as a welcoming destination among KENT vineyards, situated in the picturesque landscape of South East England near the village of Bethersden. This independent English wine producer has cultivated its vineyard since 2015, establishing itself as a meaningful contributor to the region's flourishing wine scene that has earned Kent the reputation of being England's premier wine-producing county.

The estate currently oversees approximately 2.14 hectares of carefully managed vines, where dedicated viticulture produces grapes that reflect Kent's distinctive terroir. The grape varieties planted include Bacchus, Ortega, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, representing a thoughtful selection that allows the winery to craft both aromatic white wines and elegant Pinot Noir expressions. These varieties demonstrate the versatility of English wine production, where cooler climates prove advantageous for maintaining freshness and delicate aromatics in the finished wines.
