Chapel Down Winery
After decades—centuries, even—as the butt of jokes, the English wine industry is at last being taken more seriously; in recent years, English wines have even been winning some prestigious international awards. Drop in at Chapel Down Winery, one of Britain's leading wine producers, to decide for yourself. You can visit the wine shop and explore the herb gardens for free, or pay for a two-hour-long guided tour of the rest of the grounds with tasting—advanced booking is advisable in summer. The winery is eight miles north of Rye.
