Our home in Appledore, Kent
Nestled in the heart of our vineyard in Appledore, Kent, The Nest is where your journey into the world of Gusbourne begins. Whether you're here for a relaxed tasting or an immersive wine experience, our welcoming space invites you to discover the craftsmanship behind every bottle.

Tastings and masterclasses
Step into one of our beautiful tasting rooms – The Winemaker’ Library, The Cellar or The Hide – and enjoy an expertly guided tasting of our award-winning wines. From informal sparkling wine flights to in-depth masterclasses, there’s always something new to explore.

Private wine experiences
For a more intimate visit, book a private tasting tailored to your interests. Our team will guide you through a selection of wines, offering insight into our winemaking philosophy and vineyard heritage.

Casual dining, wines by the bottle or glass and more
For a casual picnic-style lunch, you can book a Vineyard Platter for Two. We serve our platters inside during the cooler months, or on the terrace during the summer.
If you haven't booked an experience in advance, we'd still love to welcome you. We serve wine by the glass or bottle for walk-in visitors, as well as a small menu of snacks and platters most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's best to give us a quick call ahead of your visit to confirm availability.
If you have more time to spend with us, we recommend booking one of our experiences, such as our Estate Tour, which comprises a three-course lunch with wine, a guided tasting and a tour.

Exclusive wines and purchases
At The Nest, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of Gusbourne wines, including bottles available exclusively at our cellar door. Take home something special and bring a taste of Gusbourne to your own table.
