Yeomans Vineyard

About Yeomans Vineyard

Yeomans Vineyard is a charming vineyard nestled in the heart of Kent, South East England. Established in 1988, this modest yet dedicated vineyard spans approximately 0.20 hectares of carefully planted vines. Kent is widely celebrated as one of England's premier wine regions, and Yeomans Vineyard contributes to the county's growing reputation as a producer of quality English wine.

The vineyard focuses its cultivation on two grape varieties: Muller-Thurgau and Reich. These varieties are well suited to the Kentish climate, where the gently warming conditions of the South East allow for a reliable ripening period each autumn. Muller-Thurgau, a cross between Riesling and Silvaner, is known for producing light, aromatic wines with delicate floral and fruit characteristics, making it a popular choice among those new to English wine. Reich adds further diversity to the estate's plantings, contributing to the overall portfolio of wines produced by Yeomans Vineyard.

Yeomans Vineyard takes a focused approach to winemaking, concentrating its efforts on producing quality English wine from its carefully managed site in Kent. The vineyard's long history, stretching back to the late 1980s, demonstrates a sustained commitment to viticulture in the UK, a time when the English wine industry was only beginning to establish itself on the world stage. Today, Yeomans Vineyard remains a testament to the dedication of early pioneers who helped shape the flourishing industry we see today.

At present, Yeomans Vineyard is not open to visitors for tours or tastings. Those interested in experiencing the vineyard's wines are encouraged to seek out local stockists or enquire directly about purchasing options. Despite its private status, the vineyard continues to play a meaningful role within the Kent wine landscape, contributing to the rich tapestry of producers that make the South East one of the most exciting wine regions in the United Kingdom.
