A Day In The Vines Vineyard Trip

Saturday 20th June 2026 10:45am – 4:30pm

We’re delighted to partner with our long-term friends at Court Garden, our house sparkling wine supplier since 2008 to offer guests an unforgettable day at their Ditchling estate, featuring a vineyard tour, wine tasting, and lunch by Riddle & Finns.

What’s in store?

Begin your day at Riddle & Finns on the Beach with a perfectly made Bloody Mary or Mimosa, paired with a bacon & scallop roll. From there, travel by air conditioned coach across the South Downs to Court Garden, a family run, single estate vineyard in Ditchling, East Sussex.

On arrival, enjoy a guided introduction from the team before exploring the vineyard and learning about the seasonal work behind the wines. You’ll then head into the winery for an insight into the production process, followed by a tasting of Court Garden’s award-winning sparkling wines.

The experience concludes with a Riddle & Finns seafood picnic , with the opportunity to purchase wines at a special discount before returning to Brighton.

Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are £100 per person or £500 for a group of six.
