Upcoming Vineyard Shuttle Days from Brighton

Our vineyard shuttle trips are hosted journeys from Brighton to a selection of handpicked Sussex vineyards.

Unlike a traditional guided coach tour, you won't be accompanied around the vineyards by a tour guide throughout the day. Instead, Shuttle & Vine provides comfortable return transport, a dedicated onboard host, and a carefully planned itinerary that gives you the freedom to enjoy each vineyard in your own way.

When booking your seat, you can add optional vineyard experiences such as guided tastings, vineyard tours and lunch reservations (subject to availability).

Once at the vineyards, your time is your own. Join a tasting, enjoy lunch, explore the grounds or simply relax with a glass of wine while taking in the views.

Our onboard host is there to welcome guests, assist with logistics and ensure the day runs smoothly, while the vineyard's own expert teams lead any tours, tastings and experiences you choose to book.

Trips depart from close to Brighton station, with the exact meeting point shared after booking.

Short answer: not automatically — and that's normal for English vineyards.

Standard shuttle tickets include return transport only. Unlike in some wine regions, guided tastings at English vineyards aren't complimentary — they're hosted experiences run by the vineyard and typically cost £15–£25 per person. Many have limited capacity and book up in advance.

If you'd like everything sorted for you, our Experience Package bundles the shuttle with pre-booked tours and tastings at a discounted rate — no admin, no chasing availability.

Prefer a more relaxed approach? All vineyards have bars where you can buy wine by the glass, flight, or bottle on the day and enjoy the visit at your own pace.

Your ticket includes return travel from Brighton in a luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (16-seat) vehicle, hosted by the Shuttle & Vine team throughout the day.

All logistics and timings are carefully planned so you can relax and enjoy the vineyards without worrying about driving, transport or schedules.

When booking your seat, you’ll also have the option to add vineyard experiences such as guided tastings, tours or lunch reservations (subject to availability).

Our vineyard guide offers insights on what to see and do at each vineyard.

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.

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.

You’ll travel with a small group on the shuttle, with groups usually limited to 16 guests.

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.
