Busy tomorrow? Why not join us for a jaunt into the beautiful Sussex countryside on our Vintage Bus Wine Tour. We pick up from Brighton station in our vintage 1960s London bus and head out to the stunning Court Garden vineyard. Guests will enjoy a tour of the vineyard and into the winery to discover the secrets of English winemaking followed by a tutored sparkling wine tasting. A picnic hamper bursting with home-made ingredients awaits for you to find the perfect spot in the vineyard.
After lunch, we had to Albourne Estate for your second wine tasting of the day with time to soak in the surroundings with spectacular views of the South Downs. We get back to Brighton for 16:30.

Chef Fernando Granzotto working magic on the grill on for one of our lovely corporate clients.

We were hosted by the wonderful High Weald Vineyard for tours, tasting and, of course, an amazing lunch!

We are seeing a big increase in corporate incentive groups in particular from London who are looking to escape the city for the day and explore one or two of our amazing vineyards. With excellent rail links, our guests can be out of London and arriving at the vineyard within the hour. Our group decided to head down to Brighton to continue the celebrations 🥳

If you’re looking for a private tour for any occasion, please get in touch and we can design the perfect day for you 😊🍾🥂🥳
