About

New for the 2024 season, our rural experience is now available at two stunning locations. Whether you join us in Sussex, at the idyllic Albourne Estate vineyard, or in the Surrey Hills at our newest partner site, the gorgeous Greyfriars Winery, it’ll be a foodie and nature based day out to remember.

Your Experience starts with an introduction to all things bees and beekeeping before getting hands on with our hives. Then you'll relax over a tutored beer and food matching session hosted by one of our experts. Buy a ticket for your preferred session and date now! Our season tends to sell out.

Availability is from April - September and is dependant on location. Locations can be found in the calendar. Please note, all rural beekeeping and beer tasting vouchers are valid for both venues – please see T&Cs for further details.

Locations

Surrey Hills - Greyfriars Vineyard

Greyfriars Vineyard is known for producing world-class, award winning English sparkling wines. Nestled in the heart of the Surrey Hills since 1989, Greyfriars Vineyard boasts a rich history of winemaking and is a testament to the dedication of its team in producing exceptional wines while respecting the environment and local ecosystems.

With self guided tours, as well as 5 star reviewed tutored wine tastings, there is so much to see and do in this stunning setting. Charcuterie boards make the perfect picnic, and can be enjoyed in their state of the art tasting room or overlooking the vineyard from the outside bar. This family run vineyard is the perfect foodie day out.

Sussex - Albourne Estate

Set deep in the glorious Sussex countryside overlooking the South Downs, Albourne Estate vineyard is a leading producer of English wine. With their range of experiences, you can soak up everything that the estate has to offer.

Enjoy a guided, small group tour of the vineyard followed by a wine and cheese tasting, head to the south-facing tasting room to sample some wines and a charcuterie board, or pick up a picnic to enjoy in the grounds.

You can tailor your day around your beekeeping and beer tasting, all of which are available before and after your experience, and make the most of the beautiful setting and delicious wine too. To find out more head to the Albourne Estate website.
