Gusbourne Estate - Ashford

Janika V.

Our visit to Gusbourne Vineyard Estate was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warmest, friendliest staff, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The three-hour tour was a perfect blend of education and indulgence, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and kind Andrew. Listening to him was an absolute delight—his passion for winemaking was infectious.

The intimate group setting made it feel even more special as we wandered through the stunning vineyards, explored the winery, and witnessed the craftsmanship behind Gusbourne’s exceptional wines. And then, the pièce de résistance—a phenomenal three-course lunch paired with some of the finest English wines we’ve ever tasted. Each pour was generous, each sip a revelation, and every moment a true testament to how English wine is carving its well-deserved place on the world stage.

We were completely blown away by the quality, the experience, and the dedication of the team. Gusbourne isn’t just a vineyard; it’s a love letter to English winemaking. We cannot wait to return!

We went Sat last weekend and it was lovely. Daniel & Patricia really know their stuff and were both lovely. Few things that we would’ve loved though & made it 5* was seeing more about the distillery side and physically how it’s made & being able to taste the 160 degree one - they recommended it as the best but we couldn’t taste it on the tour which was a shame. Loved learning all about the history, environment & how the weather etc affects it all. Would come again & am recommending to everyone 🙂

Outstanding experience from start to finish yesterday! Paul, our guide and lover of all things wine, was fantastic in delivering the history of Gusbourne, the fascinating facts around making wine in England and bringing some lovely humour too! The three course lunch with wine pairing was superb. The chef came and spoke to our table about the local ingredients sourced and how he really looks at the flavours and textures of the wine to ensure the food compliments them. I highly recommend this experience. It would make a really lovely gift too.

We tasted this superb English wine in ION HARBOUR malta. For the French, buying English sparkling wine would seem to be sacrilege but when it is good and the royal family enjoys it at brunch... it becomes a privilege.
I bought 4 bottles 🍾 for my birthday!
Thanks

Our visit to Gusbourne Estate for my partner’s birthday was truly brilliant, we had a fantastic host, Patricia. She warmly welcomed us and shared her knowledge of the vineyards and winemaking process, making the tour both informative and engaging.

Tasting the wines right in the vineyard, surrounded by the vines, was a highlight. The wine pairings elevated the experience, especially during our three-course lunch at The Nest, where we were first to sample their autumn menu which was delicious.

We have a new found appreciation for Gusbourne’s wines and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience! I can’t wait to visit again in the spring / summer time. I highly recommend the 3 course lunch option with the wine pairings. The food was very tasty. The staff is very knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions. Easy access from London as you can take the high speed train to Ashford and the taxi ride takes around 20 minutes maximum.
