Nestled in the heart of Kent, Mereworth Vineyard is redefining English wine tourism by pairing its award-winning sparkling wines with innovative events. On a recent visit, I attended their newly launched Jazz Brunch – a vibrant Sunday morning gathering filled with live music, exceptional food, and the perfect pour.
The atmosphere was bustling, with locals and visitors alike drawn to the serene winery. Taking centre stage was Sam Dunn, an accomplished jazz guitarist who has played with some of the UK’s finest ensembles and graced iconic venues like Ronnie Scott’s. His soulful and skilful performance created a relaxed yet upbeat backdrop for the event.
This innovative approach to wine tourism not only showcases the winery’s exceptional wines but also attracts a diverse audience to the area. From locals to tourists, the event brought people together to celebrate the best of English wine and hospitality. Mereworth has set a high standard for how wineries can blend tradition with modernity, boosting visitor trade while offering memorable experiences.
With events like these, Kent continues to solidify its reputation as a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts. Whether it’s for a Jazz Brunch, a winery tour, or simply to enjoy the serene surroundings, Mereworth Vineyard is a shining example of how English wineries are leading the charge in sustainable tourism.
