Experience Details

Our scheduled vintage bus tours depart from Brighton rail station meaning you’re free to relax and enjoy the wines without the need for a designated driver. The tour includes seamless transportation and is fully hosted.


Journey through the Sussex countryside on board the vintage bus to the first vineyard, where you'll have a tour of the vines and be shown the winery to hear about English wine production. Then follows a tutored tasting of at least four award-winning sparkling wines.


Next, is a picnic lunch among the vines - complete with wicker hamper, bursting with homemade delights and a glass of wine.


In the afternoon, we once again board the 1960's London Routemaster bus and drive to a second Sussex vineyard for another tutored tasting of still and sparkling wines. There is time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings with a vineyard walk, or you can sit back, relax on the sun terrace and watch the sun fall over the vineyard. A Great British day out!
