Where to drink in Brighton
Brighton is the gateway to England's most celebrated wine country. Just inland, the chalky slopes of the South Downs share the same geology as the Champagne region, and Sussex has become the heart of English sparkling wine — its estates regularly beating Champagne houses in blind tastings.
From the seafront you're within easy reach of award-winning vineyards like Ridgeview, Rathfinny, Albourne and Bolney. Many run guided tours and tastings, and a string of operators will pick you up in Brighton — by vintage Routemaster bus, minibus or even e-bike — for a day among the vines with a proper vineyard lunch.
