Big Red Vineyard Tour of Sussex

Our flagship tour encompasses the best of Sussex. One for the wine lovers! 

Our flagship tour takes its name from the 1960s Big Red London Bus that whisks you from Brighton to the heart of English wine country, where you’ll visit two award-winning vineyards.

You’ll enjoy an expertly-guided tour of the vines and winery at our first vineyard stop, followed by a tutored still and sparkling wine tasting. For lunch, it’s either a delicious hamper or sharing platter with the best produce Sussex has to offer. We have delicious vegetarian and vegan options too – all washed down with a glass of Sussex still.  After lunch, we head to our second vineyard stop for another  guided wine tasting and a chance to relax and watch the sun fall over the beautiful South Downs. 

Step back in time and watch the world go by while tasting the very best of Sussex!
