Sussex Vineyard & Wine Tour Transport

Your Sussex vineyard day, arranged and driven.

We’re the transport, and we can sort out the rest. Tell us what you’d like, from tastings and cellar tours to a table for lunch, and we’ll book it with the vineyards, plan the timings and drive you between them, at no extra charge. Or just book the minibus. Either way, nobody has to drive.

For friends, groups, celebrations and corporate days.

Sussex has now become England's homeland for wine. A host of new and exciting vineyards popping up each year, a new generation of winemakers, and some pretty awesome sparkling offerings.

Many of our established Sussex estates have already received international acclaim, putting English wine firmly on the map. We drive, so you and your group can enjoy everything the vineyards have to offer: wine tastings, guided cellar tours and some fabulous food pairings.

Two ways to book us

We’re a transport company first. But a good vineyard day takes more than a minibus, so we’ll pull the whole thing together if you’d like, a bit like a wedding planner for your day out. You choose how much you hand over.

You’ve got a plan

Just the transport

You’ve already booked your tastings, or you’d rather turn up and see. We collect you, drive you between the vineyards and bring you home.

  • Pick-up from home, hotel, station or work
  • Half-day, full-day or a private minibus
  • Your own timings and route

You pay us: the transport price. Anything at the vineyards you book and pay for yourself.

Transport prices

These prices are for the minibus and driver. They’re the same whether you’ve planned the day yourself or asked us to arrange it. There’s no charge for arranging.

There are no set routes. You pick the vineyards, anywhere in East, Mid or West Sussex. How far apart they are decides whether it’s a half day or a full day. Not sure? Tell us which ones you’d like and we’ll tell you.

Half day

Half-day tour: 2 vineyards

Any two vineyards you choose, anywhere in Sussex, as long as they’re fairly close together. We pick you up, drive you between them and bring you home. Join a shared minibus, or book it for your group.

From our guests

“An absolutely flawless day. The Nyetimber visit alone was worth every penny, and the driver knew every back lane and hidden vista in the Downs. We came home with six bottles and enormous smiles.”

Sarah & James T., Brighton

“Organised our whole team away day through Sussex Vine Tours. Fourteen of us, not a single hitch. The private Bolney tasting was extraordinary, the winemaker spent an hour explaining the harvest.”

Helen M., Corporate client, Crawley

“Kinsbrook’s restaurant is simply wonderful, and Albourne’s view over the Downs is something else. I’ve done wine tours in Burgundy, this holds its own beautifully.”

David R., Wine enthusiast, London
