FAQs
How far are the vineyards from London?
Our partner vineyards are located within approximately one hour of London, making them an accessible yet distinct alternative to city-based hospitality venues. Direct train routes from Charing Cross, London Bridge and St Pancras connect easily to Kent, with private transfers arranged for the final part of the journey. We manage the logistics and timings on your behalf, ensuring a smooth and well-paced experience from departure to return. We can also arrange private transfer direct from your office.
What group sizes do you accommodate for client entertainment events?
Client entertainment experiences are typically designed for groups of 12–30 guests, allowing for meaningful conversation and a well-managed flow throughout the day. Larger groups can be accommodated using structured tasting formats or exclusive hire arrangements, depending on the vineyard and your brief. Every event is tailored to the size and profile of your guest list.
What makes a vineyard experience different from traditional corporate hospitality venues?
A vineyard setting offers a distinctive alternative to city-based restaurants or private dining rooms. The natural environment creates an atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed, allowing conversations to develop more organically. Movement throughout the day — from welcome reception to guided vineyard tour and hosted tasting — provides structured yet natural moments for engagement. For corporate hosts, this balance supports meaningful relationship-building without the formality or predictability of more conventional hospitality venues.
Is the experience exclusive to our company?
Yes. All client entertainment experiences are privately hosted and designed specifically around your company and your guests. This may include exclusive use of a tasting room, terrace or private dining space, alongside a dedicated host. The structure of the day is shaped around your objectives, ensuring a refined environment that supports natural conversation and relationship-building. Depending on the vineyard, there may be other guests within the building or vineyard, but your experience will be private.
What happens if the weather is poor?
We plan for that from the outset. All vineyards we recommend have high-quality indoor spaces, and we design events so they work just as well whatever the weather decides to do.
Do you organise transport and logistics?
Absolutely. We provide end-to-end coordination, including train recommendations, private transfers, detailed itineraries and clear timings. For corporate planners and PAs, this means having a single point of contact managing the moving parts behind the scenes. Our role is to ensure the day feels seamless and considered, allowing you to focus on hosting your guests.
Are non-alcoholic options available for guests?
Yes. We recognise that corporate groups often include guests who prefer not to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic alternatives can include locally produced juices, alcohol-free sparkling options and curated tasting elements that focus on vineyard processes, sustainability and biodiversity. Every guest is included in the experience, regardless of preference.
How far in advance should we book a client entertainment experience?
We recommend securing your preferred date at least 8–12 weeks in advance, particularly during peak spring and summer months. Harvest season and early autumn are also popular for corporate groups. That said, we can often accommodate shorter lead times depending on availability and group size. Early planning allows us to secure exclusive spaces, coordinate transport seamlessly and shape the experience around your specific objectives and guest profile.
