Woolton
Woolton
Woolton is a family farm near Canterbury with its own vineyard and cidery, a fourteenth-century barn housing a kitchen and cellar door, and walk-in wine tastings.
Woolton has been farmed by the Mount family for over a hundred years, and The Barn — a fourteenth-century barn at the heart of the farm — has been at the centre of it since 2020, when a coffee shop grew into a kitchen, shop and cellar door for Woolton's own wine and Kentish Pip cider. The fruit for the wine comes from a single vineyard on the farm, and the wines carry Wine GB's PDO status.
