About Silverhand Estate

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Kent countryside, Silverhand Estate is a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and rich heritage. It is defining the new rules of English sparkling wine, having established the largest single organic vineyard in the UK, covering an area of more than 900 acres.

Located in Luddesdown, Kent – Silverhand Estate takes its name from King Lud – a first century King of the Trinovantes, founder of London and God of Protection and Prosperity.

Losing his hand in battle, he was stripped of his rank and position until a silver hand was made for him.
