Discover the Art of Wine Tasting in West Sussex

Wine is so much more than just fermented grape juice; it’s the perfect accompaniment to forging new connections in a relaxed setting. Enjoying food and drink with other people is one of life’s greatest joys, and Bolney Wine Estate is the ideal setting for this. When you join your group on a Bolney wine tasting tour, you’ll find it a joyous, social experience that allows you to create lasting memories with others.

Get to know the other attendees while you stroll amongst the vines on our stunning West Sussex estate and listen to fascinating stories and entertaining anecdotes along the way. As one of the biggest and oldest names in English Wine, Bolney Wine Estate has plenty!

After seeing our state-of-the-art winery, you’ll get straight to the main event: a fully-tutored tasting together of five of our award-winning English wines. While your dedicated Bolney Wine Estate guide oversees the tasting, they always make sure it’s an interactive experience. Everyone gets to share their thoughts and opinions on the wine in a friendly, accessible environment that encourages conversation and connection.
