The Kentish Wine Way

Visit Kent is working with marketing and branding agency, Wondersphere, to place Kent on the map as the UK’s leading wine destination. The Kentish Wine Way is a five-month long activation, informed by significant research and strategy development, and ongoing outreach to Kent's vineyards. The project unifies Kent vineyards and wider tourism businesses with one clear narrative and one shared route for visitors that makes the Kent wine tourism offer easy to recognise. A dedicated toolkit  is available for Kent businesses to ensure consistent messaging, tone of voice and visual identity across all communications.

Over the coming months Visit Kent and a selection of Kent’s vineyards, plus wider project stakeholders including Wine Garden of England and Ashford Borough Council, will utilise the combined reach of their channels to showcase 12 new videos, key messages and seasonal press releases to position Kent as England's first named wine tourism destination.
