Great British Wine Tours runs its Vintage Bus Wine Tour of Sussex on Saturdays from April to October: a full day, from about 10am to 4.30pm, aboard a red 1960s Routemaster with a conductor. It picks up at seafront hotels and Brighton station, then visits two vineyards, which vary by date, with vineyard and winery tours, tutored tastings and a picnic or charcuterie lunch.
