Westwell Wine Estates

Hello from Westwell - we’re a small, family founded, family run estate winery dedicated to making delicious, drinkable wines that express the individuality of our beautiful Kent terroir.

Located in the heart of the English countryside, Westwell is known for its experimental winemaking, strong visual identity and a roster of vibrant community events.

We're located just beneath the Pilgrims Way on the North Downs; a route used for centuries by Pilgrims travelling to Canterbury. Our soils feature a mix of flint, and sandy silt-loam, over a bedrock of chalk creating the perfect environment for premium English wines. We make a wide range, from traditional method sparklers to col fondos, pet nats, skin contacts, reds, whites, oranges and pinks to amphora-aged wines and collaborations with local brewers. We grow five different varieties: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, a little Regent and our signature grape, Ortega. For us, making wine in England is about just that - English wine. We want to learn about and celebrate Kent’s unique terroir in the wines which we make.

We’re committed to creating authentic wines which tell the story of our land. We strive to make our range of wines with as little intervention as possible, utilising wild yeasts and letting the fruit speak for itself. Small scale, on-site production means we can be present at every stage: from grape to glass. Westwell’s winemaker Adrian Pike's dedication to his craft has earned him a reputation as one of England's most exciting and innovative winemakers.

Art, land and creativity is at the heart of everything we do at Westwell. Adrian’s wife Galia Pike creates everything from the ultra-detailed illustrations on the wine labels featuring drawings of vine wood under microscope, mapped-out tractor trails and abstracted details from the winemaking process to the photography, graphic design and metre-wide paintings displayed on the cellar door walls. Her work reflects the couple’s previous incarnations in the music industry; capturing the independent spirit of the vineyard and its experimental approach to winemaking.

We think not just in terms of the next vintage but the next generations. We want to be producing wine at our site for many years to come and so sustainability is key to our practise. We believe that small, simple, acts cumulatively make a big difference – from supporting and working with local businesses, recycling and composting to finding creative ways of reusing our waste and byproducts including collaborations with brewers, glassmakers and local skincare brand Pelegrims who use Westwell’s vine sap and post-harvest grape skins to create their award-winning range.

We’re also known for a roster of engaging events. We’re dedicated to creating a welcoming space for our community, regularly repurposing our winery space; usually with limited resources! Throughout the year, we host a wide variety of happenings, including creative workshops with Kentish artists, cinema screenings in the vines, theatre productions, pizza nights, local produce markets, supper clubs, weddings, wakes and even an annual dog show. These events provide a great opportunity for visitors to learn about our approach to winemaking and experience Westwell's unique atmosphere.

Our tours and tastings have a perfect five star rating on Google. Listed as one of the best vineyards to visit in the UK by Time Out Magazine, we pride ourselves on offering an authentic, behind-the-scenes experience to visitors. In addition to our classic tours and tastings, we also offer expanded experiences with additions such as dosage and blending trials.

We’re also the first vineyard in the UK to have created a democratic winemaking club. As well as a constantly-evolving raft of interactive vinous experiences, Sun Dirt Yeast members have the chance to vote on creating an exclusive, collaborative wine with Westwell. In its first year, the club is already proving to be an inspiring and eye-opening vehicle to interact and create with our customers.

The future for Westwell is bright: we anticipate increased production in the coming years as newer plantings become productive. We’ll continue to experiment and explore - minimising intervention at every step.

Our philosophy is simple: plant well, respect the soil and make great, honest wines from brilliant fruit.
