Arrive by train

High-speed trains from London St Pancras reach Ashford International in 38 minutes, with around 40 direct trains a day. Check times and book on Southeastern. We meet you outside the international entrance, drive you to both vineyards and bring you back to the same spot, so nobody in your group has to be the designated driver.

Guest feedback

  • the combination of startlingly good wines, a terrific cheeseboard sourced from local cheesemakers - and a very warm welcome from Karen and her team - made for a delightful visit to a vineyard it would be virtually impossible to reach by public transport.

    Guest feedback,
  • one of us always has to drive which means they miss out on drinking Kent’s finest. Thanks to Alastair and Alex, that’s no longer an issue.

    Guest feedback,
  • The fun started in the car ride to the first vineyard and it was a seamless transition to the vineyard owner.
