Eastbourne to Henners Vineyard
Established in 2007, this picturesque vineyard enjoys a sweet spot on a slight hillside with views across the Pevensey Levels. Here you’ll find Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, as well as some lovely sea breezes to revive warm cyclists and grapevines alike. Reach it via an enjoyably level cycle route through Pevensey Marshes, where big skies, flat roads and abundant wildlife abound.

Eastbourne to Hidden Spring (via Off The Line)
Join the Cuckoo Trail cycle route from Polegate to Hidden Spring vineyard: a boutique wine producer creating world-class still and sparkling wines. Stop off at the female-owned Off The Line vineyard — so-called for its location on the old Cuckoo Line — to try their pioneering English rosé.
Eastbourne to Rathfinny
Big hills and equally big views await on this dramatic adventure across the cliffs to the mighty Rathfinny Wine Estate, known for its Traditional Method Sussex Sparkling wines and spectacular location overlooking the Cuckmere Valley and the sea. The route takes in two Cadence Cycle Clubhouses (at Beachy Head and Litlington). An e-bike is highly recommended for this very hilly route.
