To say we were excited to be hosting a stand at Kent County Show is an understatement.
The Kent County Show is the ultimate celebration of Kent’s farming, food, and countryside life. Held over three jam-packed days at the beautiful Kent Showground, it brings together animals, horses, vintage vehicles, shopping stalls and more—all showcasing the very best the county has to offer.
Run by the Kent County Agricultural Society, a registered charity, the Show helps support local farming and countryside education. Every ticket helps fund scholarships, awards and grants that nurture the future of agriculture in Kent.
Our Stand
We were situated in the food and drink tent and were surround by other inspiring business such as Becky’s Bakes – delicious sweet treats right next to our stall (the temptation was real and we did cave in and try them – they were mouth-wateringly good), Bio Honey, Bramble Drinks Company – stunning liqueurs that actually paired amazingly with our Supernova Sparkling Brut. English Spirit Distillery’s lemon Gin paired deliciously with our Supernova Brut as a limoncello spritz. We also made friends with Edwards Fudge Kitchen, Pick n Mix cocktails, Foxdenton Estate Gins and Beckford’s Rum!
Our friends at Produced in Kent had a really cool tent with lots of different local food, drinks and general trade options.
Interview With Made In Kent Radio
Interview With Made In Kent Radio
We were overwhelmed with the response and interest in our stand, with hundreds of tastings taking place with new and existing customers. It was really rewarding to see our efforts go noticed and to have such good feedback not only on the taste of our wines and gins but also on the presentation of our bottles, labels and marketing!
On the Saturday, we were approached by Made in Kent radio for an interview. Our wine expert, Alex, took this opportunity to inform radio listeners of the work going on at the vineyard so far as well as our plans for the future, our amazing tour experiences and our wines available to purchase from our shop and online!
Familiar Faces
We also bumped into our neighbours who rescue Tortoises at The National Centre Reptile Welfare! Here is Kiera with a bottle of our Supernova Brut – Don’t worry she nor the tortoise drank this! Shoutout to Jack and Kiera
We loved seeing all the animals, camels, goats, horses and buffalo were just a few of the amazing animals we saw!
Biddenden Vineyard
Biddenden Vineyard
Biddinden Vineyard was a stand we aspire to be as big as one day with not one but two sections at the show – a full pop up bar with all of their products and some really cool branding and competition opportunities. We’re really grateful to Biddenden for their on-going support of us as a new and up-coming vineyard! Sharing thoughts on the importance of English wine and boosting other local vineyards is really important to us and seems to be an ethos that we share!
We were so excited to meet you all and can’t wait to see what is on the cards for us at Kent County Show next year! Thanks to the Kent Agricultural Society for having us!
Whope you’ll come and visit us at the vineyard and discover the hidden gem that is Wildshark!
