Thatch & TrailSussex vineyard guide

Horsham & the Arun Valley

Kinsbrook Vineyard

Pulborough · West Sussex

✓ Estate-verified · August 2026

Run by two of the country’s youngest vineyard owners, with a farm shop, restaurant and its own winery on site — daily 11am tours at £30, dogs welcome everywhere, and under-18s allowed along too.

The visit

Kinsbrook is one of the few Sussex estates where a tour works for the whole party: dogs are welcome throughout, under-18s can join the tour, and the walking route now takes in the new on-site winery as well as the vines.

Confirmed by the estate

Public tours £30pp, private £40pp

The public tour and tasting is £30 per person, running daily at 11am and lasting around 90 minutes — a walking tour plus a tasting of three KIN wines with nibbles. Private tours are £40 per person and can be arranged at any time, on any day.

Confirmed by the estate

The tour covers the winery and the vines

Since the on-site winery opened, the route takes in both the winery and the vineyard — not just a walk through the rows.

Families

Under-18s are welcome on the tour

Children can join tours and tastings, though they can’t take part in the tasting itself. The estate offers alternatives — non-alcoholic sparkling or a soft drink.

Dogs

Welcome everywhere

Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout Kinsbrook — patio, restaurant and tours. The estate asks that they’re kept on a lead where appropriate.

Getting there — which station

Billingshurst is the closest, then Pulborough, then Horsham. If you haven’t pre-booked, Horsham is your best bet for finding a taxi on the spot — all three have reliable services you can book ahead, and the estate keeps a list of local firms.

Finding it — worth reading

Sat navs don’t always register the address. Use RH20 2LU, which is the postcode the estate uses — RH20 2RZ is their postal address and will send you to a different spot. what3words: ///widely.reacting.cubed. There’s ample free parking on site.

The estate’s own tip

A private tasting with dinner, Friday or Saturday

The estate’s pick is a private wine tasting paired with dinner on a Friday or Saturday evening — for the view from the farmhouse balcony at golden hour. Head Chef Martin Price cooks with produce grown on the estate and from local suppliers. In summer, the two-day Summer Festival of live music is the other one not to miss.

Dates for the diary

Harvest Festival and Christmas Market

Harvest Festival on 5 September, and the annual Christmas Market on 5–6 December. Through the winter the estate runs workshops paired with wine tastings — candle painting, and wreath-making closer to Christmas — and the restaurant stays open Thursday to Sunday, with Sunday roasts taking centre stage.
