Relax on a beautiful Art Deco train and enjoy fine food and wine as you visit an award-winning Kent vineyard

Hop on board the British Pullman, a private luxury train, and glide through the unspoilt Kent countryside to visit an award-winning wine estate.

As you travel in your beautiful Art Deco carriage, a delicious brunch will be served at your table, set with crisp white linen and sparkling glassware. Sit back and relax as you soak in the ever-changing views through the picture windows while the train courses through the chalky downlands of the Kent countryside.

On arrival in Kent, you'll visit the peaceful 400-acre Hush Heath Wine Estate, the home of Balfour Winery. You'll be welcomed with a glass of their delicious bubbly and then join wine expert Oz Clarke for an illuminating tutored tasting. You'll also get an insight into grape-to-glass winemaking with a guided tour of the vineyards.

On your return journey you'll be treated to an indulgent four-course dinner with wine as you head back to London Victoria through the heavenly Kentish countryside.

This trip is also operating with special guest Dame Joanna Lumley - find out more here.

British Pullman, A Belmond Train

5
London Victoria Station, United Kingdom

There is no finer way to travel than on the luxurious Belmond train.

Honouring George Mortimer Pullman, the father of luxury trains, the splendidly refurbished British Pullman epitomises a glamorous era of travel. Each carriage is individually named and has a fascinating story. Some were favoured by the British Royal Family, and two were part of Winston Churchill's funeral train. Others, like Audrey and Vera, survived bomb damage during air raids over London's Victoria Station in 1940. Today, the opulent carriages are set out in tables, ready to welcome guests as they dine on their journeys through the British countryside.
