Canterbury Wine Circuit

Join Westgate Hall and Burgess Hodgson and Girlings Solicitors for a special one-off wine-tasting experience, brought to you by Canterbury Wine Festival™.

Kent’s world-class vineyards come to the city to create a wine circuit for you to play professional sommelier! Bubble up and follow Master of Wine Clive Barlow, as he leads you around a ‘Wheel of Wine’. Move around 8 socially distanced slots, tasting two wines each from 8 producers including Balfour Hush Heath, Barnsole, Heppington, Simpsons, Wayfarer Wines and a selection fro the Wine Garden of England, learning insights and expertise as you go.

Revive your social life and taste buds as you come with friends, loved ones, or colleagues over a glass, sharing the flavour of Kent’s unparalleled wines, and savouring much-missed time with each other pre-Christmas. All in the heart of Kent at Canterbury’s vibrant Westgate Hall.

Start or enhance your burgeoning wine collection by meeting the vineyards and procuring the very best in English wine from them directly and from independent specialist seller Corkk Wine for yourself or as festive gifts.
