Biddenden Vineyards Ltd Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence

Biddenden Vineyards Ltd Overview

Biddenden Vineyards, Kent’s original commercial vineyard, prides itself on being a family run vineyard with the second and third generation of the Barnes family managing the estate. Originally home to a 40 acre apple orchard, the Barnes family started to consider diversifying the farm in the late 1960s. After listing to a radio feature on English vineyards being replanted, Mrs. Barnes was inspired to turn to viticulture. In 1969, one third of an acre of vines was planted and Biddenden Vineyards was born. Today the single estate vineyard spans 23 acres of gentle south facing slopes situated in a sheltered valley, just outside the picturesque Wealden village of Biddenden. 11 different grape varieties are grown here to produce its array of award winning White, Rosé, Red and Sparkling English wines. The knowledge which the family has built up through experience over the years can be seen in the quality and consistency of the wines produced year on year. Biddenden also produces an array of award-winner ciders and juices. Crafted using the Barnes’ family recipe, which has been perfected over the last 40 years, all Biddenden’s ciders are made from the juice of carefully selected culinary and dessert apples. This gives its cider a more wine like style than those found in the West Country produced from bittersweet apples. Biddenden’s much loved, classic, farm-pressed apple and pear juices are naturally full of sweetness and with no added sugar. Working closely with local farmers Biddenden ensures all its apples and pears are sourced right from the Garden of England. Biddenden Vineyards is open to the public throughout the year, with free admission and tastings. For those just passing, there is a self-guided tour route around the vines for you to take a stroll at your leisure. For a more in-depth experience and to learn more about the history of the vineyard, the wine and the cider making process visitors can pre-book group and private guided tours.
