Autumn is the perfect time to visit Squerryes Vineyard in Westerham
Visit one of Kent’s loveliest vineyards this autumn to celebrate the grape harvest and enjoy local food and wine at one of the many special events that are now available to book.
Idyllically located in Westerham, near Sevenoaks, Squerryes are offering wonderful new food and wine experiences this autumn for their visitors to take part in and enjoy.
Their AA Rosette award-winning restaurant is at the heart of the Estate high up on the North Downs at the gateway to the Garden of England.
Dedicated to sustainable dining and seasonal dishes, the Chef draws on livestock reared on the Estate and produce foraged from its woodlands and fields together with local produce from suppliers within 30 miles of the Estate.
