Description
The Folkestone Wine Company is a family run business and encompasses all the owners’ passions for wine, food, art and music.
LocationFolkestone is a resort town in south east Kent, known today for the Channel Tunnel, but formerly as a popular seaside destination for holidaymakers. The older part of town is a lovely mix of Georgian buildings, cobbled streets, and a long sweeping seafront promenade.
The seaside town has been named among the best places to live in the country. Folkestone has been included among the favoured spots in the south east in an annual list of the cities, towns and villages offering the best quality of life.
Its entry in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2023 guide highlights the successful regeneration of the old town and harbour area, as well as great schools and fast trains to London.
