Herbert Hall Winery

Your Journey

Board our quintessentially British train for an effervescent visit to Herbert Hall Winery, in Kent. Be immersed in art deco splendour, exceptional gastronomy and captivating scenery on board. Alight to discover the winemaking process of this storied, artisan producer.

Your day begins as you board British Pullman at London Victoria Station and settle into your plush art deco carriage. Feast on a delicious brunch crafted from seasonal delicacies, many of which will have been sourced from the bucolic fields, orchards and farmlands you’re travelling through.

Arriving in Staplehurst, board a private coach for the short journey to the winery. It won’t be long before you take your first delicious sip of sparkling wine. You will then be taken on a guided tour of the vineyards. Whether the grapes are ripening or ready to be harvested, you’ll be immersed in a flourishing scene. Herbert Hall's philosophy is comparable to those of the best grower champagne producers — they use fruit only from their own vineyards, selecting the best from individual plots to create site-specific wines expressive of terroir, vintage by vintage.Exclusively for Belmond guests, the entire Herbert Hall winery and vineyard will be reserved, offering an intimate and special experience for you as you taste through their sparkling wines and learn from the Owner and Head Winemaker themselves - a truly unique opportunity, as Herbert Hall’s celebrated creations are rarely offered for tasting and can be found only in the most discerning establishments. There will also be time to relax and absorb the idyllic surroundings while enjoying a glass of chilled fizz.

More bubbles greet you back on board as you sink into your seat and chat about the day’s highlights. Savour a sumptuous three-course dinner with half a bottle of wine on the way back to London. Coffee and petits fours are served shortly before you reach your journey’s end.
