Historic Bodiam Walk And Wine Tour

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.

This is our most challenging yet arguably most spectacular walk, designed for confident, fit walkers. Starting at The Tiger Inn in East Dean, the 7-mile route to the Cuckmere River estuary takes around 2.5 hours and includes steep ascents, descents and occasionally rough paths. The reward is breathtaking scenery along the way. After completing the walk, you will be met and transported to a lunch location to enjoy well-earned refreshments and a local produce lunch. In the afternoon, you’ll visit an award-winning vineyard for a guided “vine to wine” experience, learning about the winemaking process followed by a tasting, with the opportunity to purchase wine. Transport is provided back to the starting point. Suitable footwear, weather protection and good fitness are essential for this unforgettable experience

We will bypass the walk and head straight for the English vineyards with this fizz filled day. We will create an itinerary which includes two vineyards and a pub lunch in-between. This is a great winter option as avoids too much time in the unpredictable weather! You can focus on trying out some of the best wines Kent and Sussex has to offer and tick off more of our great local vineyards.
