Countryside Wine Tours with Cannonball Bikes at Denbies | Guided Tour | Food Tour

Set just outside Brighton and Hove, Denbies Wine Estate offers a distinctive slice of England’s rural charm combined with a hands-on wine education and breathtaking natural scenery. Cannonball Bikes has crafted a 5-hour experience that navigates the gentle, rolling landscape of Surrey’s vineyard country, inviting visitors to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind English wines and stunning lookout points like Devil's Dyke.

Your journey begins inside Denbies, the United Kingdom’s largest vineyard, where a professional local guide welcomes you with a glass of sparkling wine in the estate’s cozy cinema room. From there, an indoor tour unpacks the fascinating relationship between the region’s unique chalky soil, temperate climate, and seasonal rhythms that shape the wines produced here. The tasting session deepens appreciation with a selection of varietals crafted on-site.

Post-tasting, guests can choose to enjoy lunch on the estate, featuring locally sourced fare. Adjacent to the winery, a nearby farm shop and a local brewery add layers of discovery, offering artisanal food and drinks that complement the vineyard visit.

The trip’s highlight is a stop at Devil’s Dyke, a natural chalk valley plunging nearly 700 feet, one of the deepest in England. The wide panoramas from this vantage point are rugged yet serene, underscoring the diversity of the English countryside. Whether you're here for the wine or the landscape, Cannonball Bikes’ thoughtfully curated journey puts these elements side by side, celebrating local heritage, nature, and gastronomy.

This tour stands out for its customizable experience, intimate group size, and seamless balance between indoor education and outdoor adventure, making it a standout choice for travelers seeking an authentic taste of southern England’s countryside and beverages.
