English Wine Tasting Tours is worth booking for a real understanding of English wine production: you taste award winning wines at Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard and the full range of Chapel Down English sparkling and still wines.

At Chapel Down Estate, guests explore the vineyard, enjoy a guided tasting at the barrels, and have a picnic lunch in the herb garden.

On Booking Wolf it costs £135 per person against Viator's £150, a saving of £15 (10%).
