Less Foot, More Fizz: Double Vineyard Tour

After being picked up, the walk starts at The Observatory Science Centre where we will be doing and easy 1 hour walk around the Herstmonceux Castle. From here we will be going to a country pub for a classic lunch and glass of your favourite beverage. Then we head to an English vineyard for a tour and tasting of between 4-5 wines. After the tour and tasting we will travel back to the pick-up point. While the walk is relatively easy, appropriate footwear is advised as we go through farmlands.

This walk begins at Alfriston village green (The Tye) where we set off on a 2 hour walk. The walk climbs onto the South Downs, offering sweeping views over the Downs as we pass the South East smallest church and The Long Man of Wilmingdon. After the walk, enjoy refreshments before being taken to a traditional Sussex pub for a lunch featuring local produce. The afternoon continues with a visit to an award-winning vineyard for a guided “vine to wine” tour, including a tasting of up to four wines and the opportunity to ask questions and purchase bottles. Transport back to the starting point is included. Sturdy footwear and suitable outdoor clothing are recommended.

Starting out at the Castle Inn, this circular walk takes approximately 2 hours and covers Bodiam Castle and walks through local vineyards. You will then enjoy a well earned pub lunch before heading to a local UK vineyard in the Rother Triangle. Walk is fairly flat but across fields so appropriate footwear required.
