Discover Sussex Vineyards & Wine
The dry and sunny Sussex climate is ideal for wine production. In fact, over a quarter of Britain’s vineyards are in Sussex, which is becoming increasingly well-known for its award-winning wines.
There are more than 159 vineyards here, just waiting to be discovered. Many offer tours and tastings, as well as delicious local food and evening events. Some even have lodges where you can stay the night in a sensational Sussex setting.
Join us to learn all about our vibrant wine scene and to enjoy a world-class sparkling white overlooking the vineyards. Cheers to that!
