The big question in the vineyards right now.. when will harvest begin? 🍇🍂 It’s an exciting yet nerve-wracking time as winemakers keep a close eye on the weather.. heavy rain just before picking is the last thing they want as it can dilute the flavours and affect the quality of the grapes. While the exact harvest dates are hard to predict (Mother Nature always has the final say!), ripening grapes give vital clues that help decide the perfect moment to harvest. Harvest is one of the most fascinating times to visit a vineyard. Ever wondered how grapes make their journey from vine to bottle, or how vineyards know when to pick?

We’re thrilled to be working with @wildsharkvineyard this summer and have already begun sending our guests to experience this stunning spot in the Kent countryside! 🍇 Planted in 2022 and rooted in fossil-rich soil, it’s home to classic grape varieties Bacchus, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris. This eco-conscious vineyard is growing into a must-visit wine spot. Interesting fact the vineyard was named in respect to the sea monsters that swam there over fifty million years ago during the cretaceous period, when the North Downs were the bed of a vast ocean. White sharks and Megalodon sharks swam in vast numbers. 🦈 Chloe and Sarah from the team were fortunate enough
