Gusbourne
Appledore, Kent
Vintage-only wines, made exclusively from estate-grown fruit — every bottle reflects a single year's harvest.
Anahita's note — I've visited
Gusbourne had a lovely, relaxed energy too. When I visited, they had a wine-tasting event on with someone guiding the group through it — such a fun way to spend an afternoon. The staff were genuinely friendly, and there are two different spots to settle in: right by the café, or further out in the grounds among the vines. A really enjoyable visit.
