Elham Valley Vineyard is set among fields
within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a mile south of Barham on the
B2065 Canterbury-Hythe road. The first vines were planted here in 1979, and the 5,500
bottles produced annually are made from three
white grape varieties - Muller Thurgau,
Reichensteiner and Seyval Blanc.
Since 1995 the vineyard has been run by the Vale of Elham
Trust, which was established as a charity in that year to provide work
and recreational opportunities in the East Kent
area for adults with learning disabilities. The
Trust's workers are responsible for all aspects of
the business. Tours of the vineyards and wine tastings can be arranged, and visitors will find
a number of other attractions, including a plant centre, a shop selling wine and crafts, and a
tea room serving home baking, light lunches and cream teas.
