Couple wine tasting at Yotes Court

Yotes Court

Find delicious, vegan-friendly still wines grown and made with care at this Maidstone vineyard. Here, visiting guests may enjoy a garden tour, picnic in the vineyard, or even a delicious charcuterie lunch accompanied by a tasting flight.

One of our favourite bits of trivia about this vineyard is its owner’s tie to horseracing. As a result, you’ll find Yotes Court‘s wines are named after leading racehorses, and will share panoramic views of the vineyard and Kent countryside with a pink and green horse statue – a delightful touch we know lovers of all things equestrian will appreciate.
