Wayfarer Wines is open every weekend this summer

There's a particular kind of afternoon that only Kent can offer in summer: warm air, open countryside, a glass of something local and absolutely nowhere you need to be. Wayfarer Wines, tucked into the landscape near Ashford, is exactly the place for it.

Open every weekend from 11am to 5pm, Wayfarer Wines is more than a vineyard visit. Wander through the vines on the nature walk, stop to watch the honeybees at work, or lose yourself for a while among the wildflower meadows and the butterflies that come with them. It's the kind of place that slows you down in the best possible way.

When you're ready to settle in, the shaded marquee offers wine flights from just £12.50, a gentle introduction to the estate's own bottles without any pressure or ceremony. Prefer to stay outside? The flower garden seating area is made for soaking up the sunshine with a glass in hand. Local cheeses and charcuterie are on hand to keep things going, and Simply Ice Cream is there for anyone who needs something sweet to finish.

Wayfarer Wines welcomes everyone, those who drop in for a quick glass and those who end up staying all afternoon. No booking required, just turn up, wander and see where the day takes you.
