Join us for the Rural Hiver Experience! A hands-on beekeeping and beer tasting experience, set on a stunning British vineyard in Sussex.
We’re delighted to welcome you to Hiver's Beekeeping and Beer Tasting Experience. Now available in two stunning locations. Whether you join us in Sussex, at the idyllic Albourne Estate vineyard, or in the Surrey Hills at our newest partner site, the gorgeous Greyfriars Winery, it’ll be a foodie and nature based day out to remember.
Your two hour Experience starts with a short introduction to Bees and Beekeeping. We'll then get suited up for a hive inspection and help Hiver's Beekeeper in handling the frames and checking the health of the hive. After the fun of getting up close with the 'Ladies', we'll retreat to the tasting room to relax over a tutored beer and food matching session. You are then free to explore the rest of the vineyard, onsite shop and bar and ask any questions you might have.
We’re convinced that this Experience will show you the best of British produce and countryside and leave a lasting impression. Why not make a day of it and book a wine tasting afterwards too?
