About This Event
Harvest is one of
the most exciting and important moments in the vineyard calendar, and we are
inviting you to be part of it.
Join the
Silverhand Estate team for a memorable celebration of English wine, community
and the changing seasons. Spend time amongst the vines helping to harvest this
year's crop, learn more about the winemaking process and enjoy exclusive access
to areas of the estate usually reserved for vineyard operations.
New for the 2026 Community Harvest
experience, guests will enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes winery
session, including a hands-on wine blending activity. Guided by the Silverhand
team, you will discover how different wines are combined to create unique
styles and gain a deeper understanding of the journey from grape to glass.
After your time
in the vineyard, relax back at The Lion Pop-up Pub
where live music, seasonal food, goodie bags and a welcoming festival
atmosphere await. Raise a glass to a successful harvest, meet fellow wine
enthusiasts and enjoy a unique day out in the Kent countryside.
