This new book by Paul Dennison and Maddie Blackburn features 20 walking trails around Sussex vineyards, including our own Southlands Valley Vineyard. We were delighted when Paul and Maddie popped into our cellar door for a glass of Smock Alley while researching their book, and proud to be included alongside some of the finest vineyards in Sussex.

This unique walking guide takes you on 20 meandering rambles through a diverse range of Sussex vineyards. An intoxicating mix of gentle walks through spectacular downland countryside paired with exceptional estates, delicious tastings and fine wines. Sussex is England’s wine homeland. From West Sussex to East, a new generation of wine-makers are emerging, receiving international acclaim and putting English wine firmly on the global menu.

All walks are relatively easy and can be enjoyed in a day. There’s no better way of becoming acquainted with the land than walking through it and there’s nothing like a glass of wine to enrich your soul and refresh your spirit of adventure. Walking these trails will make your head spin with pleasure.
