Corporate Events at Herbert Hall | Private Vineyard Experiences with Opulence
 

Nestled just outside Marden in Kent, Herbert Hall is a distinguished boutique vineyard with deep roots. In 2007, Nick Hall — great-grandson of its founder, Herbert — revitalised the estate by planting Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier on its finest south-facing slopes. The vineyard’s warm microclimate and gravelly clay soils are perfect for growing expressive grapes. Today, Nick and Head Winemaker Kirsty Smith produce small, artisanal editions of English sparkling wines, some as limited as 500 bottles.

 

 

A Story of Craft, Character & Connection

Hosting your corporate events at Herbert Hall Kent with Opulence means stepping behind the scenes of English winemaking, guided personally by the people who bring it to life. Guests are welcomed by Owner Nick Hall and Head Winemaker Kirsty Smith, who share their passion, humour and craftsmanship through private tours and tastings. This is a vineyard where every bottle tells a story — and being hosted here feels like being invited into the beating heart of English sparkling wine. It’s a place that can’t be booked directly, making access through Opulence a rare and privileged experience.

Private Tastings & Events

Herbert Hall is made for intimate occasions – not meetings or conferences, but gatherings that feel personal and celebratory. Enjoy a relaxed vineyard walk followed by a tasting of vintage and limited-release wines, many not available anywhere else. For larger groups, we can create a laid-back celebration in the vineyard itself or within the winery, surrounded by barrels and tanks that tell their own story. Whether you’re hosting clients, rewarding your team, or simply gathering to share good wine and conversation, each event is designed around your guests – and the spirit of the estate.

Tailored Dining & Seamless Service

While Herbert Hall doesn’t have a restaurant on site, Opulence handles every detail of your catering. From stone-baked pizzas and artisan grazing boards to private chefs creating multi-course menus paired with Herbert Hall wines, we work with trusted local caterers to design dining that perfectly complements your event. Every element – food, wine and setting – is crafted for an atmosphere that feels elegant yet effortlessly relaxed.
