Balfour Winery

Balfour Winery is one of Kent’s most appealing countryside attractions, offering a relaxed yet refined day out in the heart of the Garden of England. Set within the beautiful Hush Heath Estate, it combines sweeping vineyard views, woodland walks and a modern, welcoming visitor centre. Guests can enjoy guided vineyard and winery tours, tutored wine tastings, seasonal events and live music, or simply unwind with a glass of English sparkling wine on the terrace. Food lovers are also well catered for at the Winemakers’ Kitchen, where locally sourced, seasonal dishes are thoughtfully paired with Balfour’s wines.

What makes Balfour especially special is how effortlessly it blends leisure, nature and wine culture. Whether you’re a dedicated wine enthusiast or just looking for a memorable day out, the estate offers something for everyone — from relaxed picnics and scenic walks to immersive tastings and celebratory dining experiences. Easy access from London and a complimentary shuttle from Marden station make it an ideal escape to the countryside without the hassle.

Behind this polished visitor experience lies an impressive winemaking story. The Balfour-Lynn family planted their first vines at Hush Heath Estate in 2002, and international recognition soon followed when their Balfour Brut Rosé won a top gold medal at the International Wine Challenge. Today, Balfour is regarded as one of England’s leading wine producers, and a visit offers not just excellent wines, but a chance to experience one of the country’s standout wine destinations at its very best.
