Kent is often known as the 'Garden of England' but with over 50 wine producers across the county, we are also now becoming the vineyard of England too. So it was fantastic to visit the One Maidstone (Business Improvement District) Wine Weekend event. A showcase of top producers from around the county, it was a great opportunity to learn more about the range of varieties now being grown and the huge expertise of growers. Not only are these vineyards producing award winning wines, they are also important local employers, with industry body WineGB predicting that there could be as many as 7,000 jobs in the wine-making industry by 2040 in Kent. Well done to the organisers for a fantastic event, highlighting what an amazing industry we have flourishing in our local area.
