Your Shuttle & Vine host will meet you at the front of Brighton Station. The exact meeting point will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.

You’ll travel in a premium 15-seater Mercedes Sprinter, with comfortable seating, air conditioning, and plenty of space to relax.

Each trip includes a hosted return shuttle from Brighton Station, a self-curated visit to one or more Sussex vineyards, and a Vineyard Guide with itinerary suggestions and booking links for tours, tastings, and lunch. Tastings, food, and experiences at the vineyard are booked separately, giving you the freedom to choose what suits you. Shuttles are usually timed to align with vineyard tours, tasting and lunch sittings.

In most cases, absolutely. You’re welcome to enjoy the vineyard grounds, have lunch, or browse the wine shop without booking a tasting. However, some vineyards can only be visited as part of a guided tour. We’ll make this clear in the booking information and in your Vineyard Guide, so you can plan accordingly.

You’ll travel with a small group on the shuttle, but once you arrive at the vineyard, the time is yours. Whether you’ve booked a tour, a table for lunch, or just want to explore, you’re free to enjoy the experience at your own pace.

No problem — the vineyards we visit are well prepared for all weather. Tours, tastings, and dining experiences are typically indoors or take place in all-weather spaces, and many restaurants have covered terraces or adaptable setups. Experiences may be adjusted slightly to suit the conditions, so you can relax and enjoy your day, rain or shine.

Unfortunately, dogs aren’t permitted on our shuttles, so we’re unable to accommodate them on Shuttle & Vine trips at this time. Service dogs are, of course, always welcome — just let us know in advance so we can ensure everything is in place for your visit.

Yes, children are welcome on Shuttle & Vine trips when accompanied by an adult. However, please note that many vineyard experiences — including tastings and some tours — are strictly for guests aged 18 and over.

Infants under 2 years old who will be seated on an adult’s lap (babes in arms) do not need a separate ticket.
