Photos from the tour listing.
A private outing for your own group that starts at Albourne, near Brighton. You ride electric bikes up onto the Downs and back, then finish with a wine tasting at Albourne Estate. Allow about four and a half hours in all.
The bikes do much of the work on the climbs, so you get the views from the top of the Downs without needing to be a strong cyclist, and the group stays together. The listing does not say which wines are poured or how many.
One thing to check: Albourne's own website says its public tours have finished for 2026 and its tasting room closes for the winter, with private tastings by request. If you book between now and spring, confirm with the organiser what the tasting will involve.
Best for: an active couple or small group who want a few hours outdoors with a glass of Sussex wine at the end.
