Meet the Vineyards
We have put together a series of “Meet The Vineyards” events for 2025. They’ll be held once a month at the Corkk Canterbury store. It’s a great chance to personally meet the highly skilled wine makers who produce the note worthy wines we stock and you love to drink. At the event you’ll meet the wine makers or owners, hear their innovative wine making stories and of course taste the wines. The tickets cost £25 per person.
Wednesday 4th june: Woodchurch Wine Estate - 18:30-20:30 - £25
About the Evening
Graham and Donna Barbour's vineyard is situated in the village of Woodchurch, Kent. Their single vineyard wines have won multiple awards, including Gold and Silver Medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards and Silver Medals at the International Wine and Spirit Competition. A former librarian and respected viticulturalist, Graham has a naturally engaging conversational style, and we are delighted to welcome him to share his wines and his story with you as we continue to bring the vineyards to the high street.
Thursday 5th June: Domaine Evremond Wine Estate- 18:30-20:30 - £25
Domaine Evremond is the realisation of a shared dream between lifelong friends Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath to craft exceptional English Sparkling Wine of the highest quality. The vineyards and winery are just outside Canterbury at Chilham. Their first sparkling wine was launched early April 2025, this will be a superb opportunity to meet Patrick, hear their fabulous story and, of course, taste their superb sparkling wine.
Wednesday 2nd July: Wayfarer Wines - 18:30-20:30
The enterprising Ashford family set out in viticulture with the explicit aim of making high quality still wines from their vineyards in the Weald of Kent. This is no mean feat in our marginal climate, as still wines require the grapes to be riper than is necessary for sparkling, and that in turns demands more warmth. Wayfarer have certainly succeeded, as attested by the two Gold medals they garnered for their Wandering Bacchus last year.
