Balfour Winery

Your Journey

Board our quintessentially British train to visit glorious Hush Heath Estate in Kent. Indulge in exceptional cuisine and convivial conversation in our beguiling Art Deco carriages. Then alight to discover the secrets of Balfour Winery’s sparkling success.

Board British Pullman at London Victoria Station and soak up every sumptuous detail of the vintage train, from the authentic art deco interiors to the stewards’ iconic uniforms. Relax in your armchair at a table set with white linen and bespoke glassware. A delicious brunch is served as you glide into Kent. This is the perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect and let time take on new meaning as you’re transported back to the Golden Age of travel.
Soon you’ll arrive at Staplehurst and board a private coach for the short journey to the family-owned Balfour Winery, near Staplehurst. Part of Hush Heath Estate, it’s a serene, nature-rich space with wildflower meadows, ancient oak woodlands and apple orchards. The vineyards, planted on Wealden clay soils, are used for many of the company’s single-vineyard wines, including their flagship Balfour Brut Rosé.
Prepare for a fascinating immersion in Balfour’s winemaking philosophy as you visit the vineyards and the state-of-the-art winery and enjoy a tutored tasting of still and sparkling wines. There’s also time to relax and absorb the idyllic surroundings before returning to the train for your journey back to London. Naturally, you’re welcomed back on board British Pullman with a glass of English fizz, which is soon followed by a sensational four-course dinner. Coffee and petits fours are served before you arrive back in London.
