Ride a vintage bus through Sussex vineyards, taste English wines, and enjoy a picnic among the vines on this full-day tour from London.
About this tour
Trade London’s bustle for the rolling vineyards of Sussex on a full-day wine tour aboard a vintage bus. Your guide meets you at London Bridge for the one-hour train ride to Brighton, where the countryside adventure begins. With transport arranged, you can settle in and enjoy the tastings without needing a designated driver.
Visit two vineyards to see the vines, explore a winery, and hear how English wine is made. At the first vineyard, enjoy a tutored tasting of at least four award-winning sparkling wines, followed by a picnic among the vines. The hamper features local, seasonal ingredients, with a glass of wine alongside. Then climb aboard the 1960s London Routemaster for the journey to a second vineyard, where you’ll taste still and sparkling wines, stroll among the vines, and have time to purchase bottles.
A guide hosts the day from London through the vineyard visits, with open-return rail tickets and vintage-bus transport included. Book this Sussex vintage bus wine tour for a relaxed day of English wine, countryside views, and generous tastings.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 50% in London means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in London by this score.
