Guest Blog: Reconnect with your WILD side

Experience the fun of a WINE in the WILD Adventure with The Motley Cru Team from Kenton Park Estate! We hope to inspire you to rediscover and reconnect with your wild side. We're not going to be in lockdown forever!

Our aim is to encourage you to rediscover the joy of taking time out to share adventure and outdoor experiences again with friends and family... 

Let's go on an adventure...

The Motley Cru Team HQ is based at our vineyard in the heart of our small country estate in a beautiful and sometimes wild part of the south west coast of England - a perfect location for adventure. ​

Many adventures and outdoor experiences are celebrated with wine... being an English vineyard we have no shortage of wines and sparkling wines as well as our own artisan gins, whisky, beers & cider to be enjoyed at the end of any outdoor adventure experience. Our "CHEEKY GINNY" gin is often to be seen tucked safely in someone's pocket!

Let's go on a wine adventure... A WINE in the WILD Adventure! We even have our very own WINE in the WILD for you to enjoy....

Start of the day...

Our WINE in the Wild Experiences are something just that little bit different! At the start of any WINE in the WILD Adventure, we invite guests to join us first of all for a hearty breakfast in The Motley Cru bar in The Winery Building that sits in the heart of our 20 acre estate.

Enjoy breakfast overlooking the vines and the rolling hills of Mamhead Forest and beyond. You will see pheasants and partridges roaming freely around the estate and vineyard which itself is surrounded by the stunning landscape of the 3,500 acre estate of Powderham Castle. After breakfast, jump into the estate's Land Rover Defenders to take you to the start of your adventure.

Choose from various adventures including off-road motorbike tours, off-road 4x4 driving, paddle boarding on the Exe Estuary, kayaking tours, surfing adventures, FIZZ on FOOT Walking Tours, horse riding safaris and camping-out under the amazing stars in our new safari tent.

End of the day...

At the end of the day, enjoy our English sparkling wine to celebrate your WINE in the WILD Experience with The Motley Cru Team! Our 2014 Vintage of "Gun Dog Escape" sparkling rosé reserve wine is always very popular with the ladies (made mainly from pinot noir grapes.) It's a very pale sparkling rosé but ever so delicious with hints of vanilla and summer fruits and fruity berries. Guests love the story behind the design of the wine label which features our very own infamous gun dogs whose adventures have become legendary locally as they are always seeking to escape the boundary of our estate in their quest to hunt for rabbits.

Immerse your senses...

We welcome many guests to Kenton Park Estate every year to join our WINE in the WILD Adventures and have created a lifestyle collection to encapsulate the spirit of The Motley Cru, their adventures and the style of life here on the estate which you can view on our website.

As you browse through our “What’s On” page on our website, we hope to immerse your senses... so that you can almost hear the crackle of that log fire on the beach and the sound of those waves crashing and the taste of that glass of ‘something special’ after an exhilarating day of adventure shared with friends and family. Our very own Kenton Park Estate whisky is a very popular choice at the end of the day with the gentlemen.
