Balfour Winery is renowned for its award-winning wines, world class visitor centre, offering tours,tastings and dining.

Balfour Winery in Staplehurst, Kent is one of England’s most respected and renowned wineries, a pioneer for both English traditional method sparkling wine, and a new wave of English still wines.

When 10,000 bottles of Balfour Brut Rosé, made from the first harvest in 2004, won a gold medal at the 2007 International Wine Challenge, Balfour Winery was officially on the wine map.

Over the following years, the winery’s co-founders Richard and Leslie Balfour-Lynn created a state-of-the-art winery and tasting room with the help of a team of viticultural and winemaking experts. The stylish contemporary building, The View, opened in 2018 and offers spectacular facilities with sweeping views across Hush Heath Estate.

The Estate is home to some of England’s most vibrant flora and fauna, and for nature and wine lovers alike, it offers an unparalleled experience. Guests can stroll through the beautiful vineyards on a free self-guided stroll or join an expert-led tour and tasting experience. Tours and tastings are available all year and are bookable online.

Join an expert-led tour or collect a map for a self-guided walk through the vineyard, wildflower meadows and woodlands.

Sample their wines with a self-tutored tasting or join the Cellar Door Masterclass for a fun and relaxing experience overlooking the vineyard.

For the Ultimate Wine Dining Experience, Balfour Winery is the perfect place to escape your everyday eateries. For those looking to enjoy a light lunch after a walk around the estate book a table for lunch in cellar door to tuck into our seasonal sharing platters and artisan flatbreads.

Whereas if you are looking for an exceptional wine and food pairing experience indulge in our A La Carte Menu by reserving a table in our restaurant 'The Winemakers' Kitchen'- open seven days a week for lunch and on Sundays will be serving elegant traditional roast's. The Winemakers' Kitchen is also serving dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings. Join us to enjoy great wine, fantastic food and beautiful views across our Estate..
