Our Estate Tour is our most popular experience – a wonderful way to enjoy and explore the Gusbourne vineyards and wines.

Your day will start with a chilled glass of sparkling wine before one of our knowledgeable hosts takes you on a leisurely tour of the vineyards. You’ll hear insights into how we grow our fruit and make our wine before we return to The Nest for an extended tasting.

You’ll be introduced to a selection of our most important and classic wines – bottles that showcase our incredible terroir and vintage-only approach. We’ll also pour some rare release and limited-edition wines.

Your experience will be rounded off with a delicious, seasonal three-course lunch, paired with wines.
The day begins at 11am and we expect to be finished at 3.30pm.

About the host

In 2004, our founder Andrew Weeber planted the first vines on Gusbourne Estate’s coastal escarpment in Kent, in the far southeastern corner of England. Andrew had a clear vision: to create the world’s finest sparkling wines.

Today – two decades on – we’re still driven by this same ambition. We’re proud to have earned recognition in international wine competitions, with hundreds of medals, including several prestigious "Best in Show" wins. In 2023, we were named WineGB Estate Winery of the Year for the third consecutive year, and in 2024, we were honoured with a spot in the ‘Top 50’ of the ‘World’s Best Vineyards’ awards.

The Nest, our award-winning tasting room and cellar door, is open year-round, offering a warm welcome to visitors. Located just under an hour from London and nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, our estate is the perfect spot to spend the day. Take in the stunning views while sipping a glass of our English Sparkling Wine. We’re delighted to host impromptu guests with self-guided tours and wine-tasting flights. If you're after something more immersive, we offer a variety of ticketed experiences, including casual summer dining in the vineyards, expert-led tutored tastings, and seasonal lunches at The Nest.

We currently have 93 hectares under vine across Kent and Sussex, and three grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

Directions: By car: 20 minutes from Ashford / 30 minutes from Eurotunnel Le Shuttle / 15 minutes from Rye
