Thought you had to go to the Loire Valley in order to go on a wine-tasting tour? Well, not any more! Thanks to the huge renaissance in English wines, The George in Rye sits right in the middle of dozens of next-generation vineyards making seriously good wines, especially sparkling.
We've teamed up with English Vine Tours to you offer luxury chauffeured daytrips to some of our leading wine-makers. In our full days tours you can expect to be taken to two vineyards where you'll enjoy your own personal tour and wine tastings, with a slap-up lunch in the middle of the day. Choose to hit either Kent or Sussex, or make a two day trip of it and do both!
For guests who take the tours between Sunday and Thursdays, we are offering a special discounted stay, as detailed below.
Plus as well as super-exclusive tours for two which are great for an anniversary, you can also choose larger group tours for parties and celebration. Take your pick from the tours below!
