The Vibe: 

Though it has huge courtyards and offers catering for parties, Kelham has a Mom and Pop feel to it.  Be forewarned that Kelham has a $30 tasting fee, a rarity.  If you buy 6 bottles the fee is waved. 

Known For: 
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc
Not good for: 
  • Large groups or busses (see $30 tasting fee)
  • People seeking grand architecture or amazingly beautiful gardens. Kelham is certainly nice but it's not a "go out of your way" place for this type of thing.
  • Picnics
Particularly good if you are seeking: 
  • Seeking an exclusive tasting experience.  With a $30 tasting fee, Kelham really is for dedicated wine enthusiasts seeking small production Napa cabs, sauvignon blanc, and merlot.
  • Seeking to host a small, catered event.
