Each year, in addition to our classic range of wines, we also craft a small number of very limited and exceptionally fine wines. Bottlings such as our prestige cuvée, Fifty One Degrees North.

These are wines which demonstrate the most luxurious and innovative aspects of our winemaking – whether that’s especially generous time on lees, use of the finest barrels or the choice of particularly expressive and high-quality fruit.

The Gusbourne Icons Experience is your chance to enjoy a selection of these rare wines – bottles which are not usually available to taste. One of our knowledgeable ambassadors will guide you through each of these gems before you sit down for a delicious four-course lunch, accompanied by your favourite limited-edition wines.

The four-course menu, created by our Head Chef Anthony Coppard, will feature the finest seasonal, local ingredients, chosen to complement the wines served.

The day begins at 11.30am 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
