Based in Appledore, Kent, the original Gusbourne Estate dates back to 1410. In 2004, Andrew Weeber took over the estate with a clear vision and a single goal: to create English Sparkling wines that would stand up alongside the very finest offerings from across the globe. Thirteen years later, Gusbourne supplies wines for the UK’s leading restaurants. They offer year-round guided tours of the estate, with the opportunity to taste the whole range of wines in the elegant tasting room.
