'Follow the Path from Grape to Glass'

English Vine Tours is the new venture from Georgie & Ben Furst of The Sussex Wine Company commencing in January 2009. This exclusive service, the first of its kind for the UK, offers individuals or groups the chance to explore a variety of English vineyards across the South East of England and taste the delights of English wine.

The 2009 English Vine Tours programme of tours includes half day, one day and two day packages. Tours will include transportation in a private minibus accompanied by a wine expert, the vineyard tour, wine tasting, lunch, a complimentary bottle of wine and accommodation where relevant. ‘Special’ day packages for calendar days such as Mother’s/Father’s Day are expected to be particularly popular. Special Day packages include the wine tour as well as extra activities such as a trip to the races.

Private and corporate groups are welcome and gift vouchers are available. Prices start from £49 per person and the special launch offer for the ‘White Clover One Day Wine Tour’ on 24th January is available to book for £79 per person (was £99).

English Vine Tours is a family run business with over 20 years of experience in the wine trade and an absolute desire to bring the beauty of English wine and its vineyards to the general public.

“We aim to promote the English wine industry, support local economy, celebrate English producers and allow everyone to truly experience the beauty of the English vineyards.”
