tours & tastings
The Vineyard Estate is currently CLOSED for the winter, but Tour & Tastings for 2026 can now be booked below
​
Come down and hear all about our adventure direct form the owner and vineyard manager, Paul Olding. Book a tour of the Vineyard and the Wildwood and enjoy guided tastings of three of our premium still wines. Learn a little about wine appreciation in our guided tasting, buy a bottle or two of our award winning wines, and raise a glass sat out in the sunshine on the vineyard.
​
Why not add a Sussex Cheese platter to your booking. Four cheeses from the Traditioonal Cheese Dairy, expertly paired with our wines.
​
We also have a special arrangement with the Spa Valley Railway to travel to/from the vineyard in style on a heritage steam or diesel train.

BOOKING ESSENTIAL (see below)
​​ We are trying out a new online booking system below - please be patient as there may be some glitches. If the number of spaces you require does not show up during booking, then we potentially don't have sufficient spaces left on that specific tour and tasting. If in doubt, send us an email and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Tour & Tasting Vouchers
​
If you are lucky enough to have a voucher bearing a code, please use that code at checkout and it should all go through free of charge. If your voucher does not have a code (or the code doesn't work), please EMAIL direct to book your place (subject to availability), and please bring your voucher on the day

​
Cancellation
​
Tickets for Tours & Tastings are non-refundable. However if you would like to re-arrange your visit, we will do our best to accommodate, subject to availability. In the unlikely event the vineyard has to cancel a booked tour and tasting, a full refund will be issued.
​
If you are booked on the Spa Valley Railway and your train is cancelled, sadly that is out of our control and again we cannot issue a refund. In this event, we are serviced by bus and taxi (please see our Directions). If you would like to re-arrange, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate (subject to availability).
Tours & Tastings are weather dependent as everything takes place outside. You will receive notification by email if we have to cancel your booking, with the option of a refund or a rebooking.

​​​​​​​​​Sussex Cheese Pairing Plate

Train and Vineyard
​
11:15 train for the 12:00 tour & tasting
Board the 11:15 heritage diesel train at Tunbridge Wells and travel in style to Eridge train station. Then its a short walk (12 mins along a rough footpath track) to the vineyard where you will enjoy a Tour & Tasting at 12:00. Return steam train at 14:35
12:45 train for the 14:00 tour & tasting
For the second tour and tasting held at 14:00, take the 12:45 steam train, and make your way over from the station. There is a bit of time to kill, so why not pop into the Huntsman pub en route. Return train at 16:05
​​
Walk from Eridge Station to Wildwood
The short walk over from the station is along a rough and in parts steep footpath. It may not be suitable if you have impaired mobility. There is a visual map available to download on our directions page. Please download in advance as the internet is a bit patchy at the station. This will also be emailed to you if you have ticked the box (in bookings) saying you are coming by the Spa Valley Railway.
​
​
Please check availability for the wine tasting below with us before booking your train ticket with Spa Valley Railway.
You require 2 tickets, one for the train and one for the tour & tasting.
