Wine Harvest Day Trip
For a third year we are offering 10 individuals the opportunity to join us on an educational Wine Harvest Trip in Canterbury, a chance to experience the grape harvest first-hand, a crucial stage in winemaking where grapes are carefully picked at peak ripeness.
In partnership with Simpsons Wine Estate and sponsored by Decanter, this is an immersive day of wine education.
The full trip will take place on Mondday 5th October 2026, departing London St. Pancreas at 9:30 am, and returning at 6:30 pm.
