Vineyard Explorer Tour & Lunch
May 4 @ 11:30 am - 3:00 pm
£78.00
Join us for a guided walking tour of our beautiful vineyards hidden away in the South Downs, which incorporates a tasting of our award-winning English Sparkling wines and a picnic lunch in the vineyard. The tour will head out into the beautiful South Downs National Park with your guide talking through the local floral and fauna, as well as the vineyards which we will pass through. The route is 4.1 km in total (there and back) and does involve some short but steep hills.
When we reach our Findon Park Vineyard we will enjoy a tasting of a selection of Wiston wines which come from the vines which surround us, and follow this with a lunch of charcuterie and cheese platters, delicious Chalk-made focaccia and salads. Lunch will be alfresco in the vineyard if the weather allows or if it is inclement we can shelter in the vineyard barn.
Tasting in Wiston Estate Vineyard
After lunch we will walk back to the Cellar Door where we started, enjoying more beautiful views of the South Downs. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on this tour.
