Wiston Winery
Journey
Board our quintessentially British train for a visit to Wiston Estate, an award-winning winery in the Sussex Downs
Be immersed in art deco splendour, exceptional gastronomy and captivating scenery on board. Alight to discover the winemaking prowess of this exceptional producer, whose many accolades include being named Winery of the Year four times.
Your journey takes you to Wiston Estate, a family-owned winery in the rolling West Sussex hills. The beautiful estate has been nurtured by the Goring family since 1743. Pip Goring, arriving at Wiston in 1972, dreamed of planting a vineyard to evoke her childhood in South Africa’s Western Cape. Her dream became a reality in 2006 when the family planted the south-facing chalky slopes and clay soils with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Their world-class sparkling wines have since garnered an array of accolades and are consistently championed as the best examples of their type in the UK.
