Our Spaces
The Mount Vineyard is tucked away in the quintessentially English village of Shoreham
in Kent
Shoreham boasts three lovely pubs, an aircraft museum and a
Norman church as well as numerous walks and breathtaking views across the valley.
The Vineyard
The 104 acre estate with 10 acres under vine is home to our stunning Courtyard Restaurant and Bar, Tasting Room, Oak Terrace, Orchard, outside Flint Bar, Ten Acres Shop and Coffee Box.
In total, there are eight different varieties of grapes grown on site. The chalk soil allows our vines to flourish while the climate promotes the slow ripening of our grapes, leading to optimum levels of ripeness and acidity. Although there isn’t a winery onsite, we continuously taste the different wines in the vats, barrels and bottles to determine the readiness of the wine.
Using only estate-grown grapes from the vineyard ensures that just the finest fruit is used to produce our wines.
The Courtyard Restaurant
and Bar
Our Courtyard Restaurant with its fully retractable roof and bi-fold doors is the perfect escape in the beautiful Darent Valley. Enjoy modern British ingredients on delicious sharing platters and stone-baked pizzas paired with our award-winning range of still and sparkling wines. Our underfloor heating will keep you toasty in winter while the retractable roof lets the sun in on warmer days. Open Wednesday to Sunday all year round to eat/drink in or to takeaway.
Our Restaurant Bar serves a wide selection of spirits, beers, soft drinks, teas and coffees as well as a carefully selected list of international and English wines along with our own range of still and sparkling wines.
The Pond Garden
This pretty spot overlooks the large pond with the Rondo and Pinot Precoce vines to the east and our beautiful Courtyard Restaurant just a few steps away. Relax and recharge here with friends or family and your favourite furry friend while enjoying a drink and a light bite in these stunning surroundings. Picnic benches are available on a first come first served basis.
The Flint Bar & Tipi
Our beautiful outdoor Flint Bar and Tipi beyond the Pond Garden is the perfect spot to enjoy an al-fresco drink amongst the vines while admiring the Shoreham Cross in the distance! Picnic benches are available on a first come first served basis or the space is also available for private hire. Please contact our Events Team on events@themountvineyard.co.uk to enquire.
The Oak Terrace
Our Oak Terrace with its bespoke retractable roof and sides plays host to our wine tasting experiences between May and September. It borders our pretty apple orchard and vegetable patch with the meadow and Courtyard Restaurant a short stroll away. The perfect venue for your corporate away day, the Oak Terrace can accommodate up to 40 people boardroom layout (up to 70 people in different layouts) – the ideal summer destination for meetings coupled with a wine tasting, lunch, dinner and cocktails!
