This boutique, four-acre vineyard is situated just north of Folkestone on the Kent North Downs, has fabulous views over the English Channel to France. This terroir, rich in limestone, is strikingly like that of Champagne and imparts exceptional mineral purity and freshness, with vivid acidity that makes their wines stand out.

Terlingham Vineyard place great thought into their viticulture and harvest practices. Every stage is handled gently and deliberately with canopy management, yield control, and sustainable methods ensuring quality fruit over volume. Harvesting is done by hand, allowing for precise selection of perfectly ripe clusters. This manual attention ensures that only the best fruit makes it into the bottle.Â
If you fancy spending the night on a vineyard, there are three rooms at Terlingham Lane Cottage based at the Winery, with each room en-suite and having their own entrance. The vibrant town of Folkestone and its famous Harbour Arm are a 10-minute drive and the location makes it ideal to explore Canterbury and its Cathedral, Dover Castle, the Romney Marsh, and many historic villages. Whilst you are here, why not explore the 'Wine Garden of England'?
