Seasonal Events

June, July and August will be packed with fun events here. Something for everyone, we hope to see you this summer!

From Friday 5th June, the Tasting Den will be open from 9am until 8pm, giving you even more time to enjoy the Tasting Den 'sun trap' deck, in the golden evening light.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, settle in with a chilled glass of wine, a cold beer, or something sparkling from the vineyard, alongside a specially curated menu of small plates and summer bites designed for relaxed grazing and sharing.

Whether you’re joining us after work, meeting friends for a catch-up, or simply making the most of the long summer evenings, Sundowners at Birchden Vineyards is all about slowing down and enjoying good food and good wine in beautiful surroundings.

Find a sunny spot on the decking and settle in as the sun starts to set over the farm.

No booking needed, simply turn up and enjoy the evening. Children and dogs are of course very welcome.

Our June monthly pop-up is a celebration of exceptional artisan produce from the area.

Join us to meet local makers showcasing a delicious range of handmade treats and locally crafted drinks. Expect artisan gelato, fresh baked goods, cider, sauces and much more. There will be plenty to sample, and it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up a few thoughtful Father’s Day gifts ahead of 21st June.

The Blackbird Café will be open throughout the day serving coffee, crêpes and delicious seasonal lunches, alongside wines from the Tasting Den.

A lovely way to spend a Sunday,  grazing, sipping and discovering the delicious flavours of the local countryside.

Children are very welcome, we will have a bird watchers checklist and quiz. We do not provide binoculars so please bring your own if you have some.

Join us at the Blackbird Cafe for a relaxed summer evening of live music and delicious food.

Chef Tommy will be serving a Moroccan-inspired BBQ buffet at the Blackbird Café with fresh seasonal salads and sides. We’re also delighted to welcome a fantastic line-up of local musicians to soundtrack the evening while you settle in on the decking and enjoy the sunset. (And yes, we’ll have rain cover ready in case the British summer surprises us!)

Wrap up warm as the evening cools, order a glass of something delicious, and spend the night eating, drinking and soaking up the atmosphere.

This is what summer evenings were meant for.
