Head to Tinwood Estate in West Sussex for an afternoon tea experience that’s a little different

The Tinwood Estate’s vineyards are situated in the heart of West Sussex at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Since the first planting in 2007, Tinwood has quickly established a reputation for producing the very finest English sparkling wines. As a result of this, they have become well-known for their quality English sparkling wine. This includes The Estate Brut, the Blanc de Blancs and an exquisite Rosé – and for those interested in sampling some of these, Tinwood Estate have announced a new tour with a twist to whet the appetite.

Afternoon tea is one of the finest English traditions, so what better way to enjoy it other than with three glasses of fine English sparkling wine? With a choice of teas or coffee available upon arrival, learn how Tinwood’s selection of English sparkling wines are created, from grape to glass. During a special one hour, 45 minute tour, your host will guide you into the vines and walk you through the story of Tinwood Estate and give you great insight into how they grow their grapes at the Vineyard. Afterwards, relax in their tasting room for a tutored wine tasting and explanation of the traditional method of the sparkling winemaking process while indulging in a carefully crafted afternoon tea and you are welcomed by the family to stay a little longer to enjoy the bar. The afternoon tea tour is priced at £49 per person.

This includes three glasses of sparkling wine and a tour around the estate, after the tour you are welcome to stay for an extra glass or a cold bottle of wine of your choice.
