Step into a world of decadence on board the Belmond British
Pullman as you glide through the Kent countryside on this beautiful
day trip to the Balfour Winery.
Board the opulent train at London Victorian and take your seat in
one of its Art-Deco carriages. As you depart London, enjoy a
three-course brunch with a Bellini and watch the landscapes unfold
before your eyes, as you travel through Kent's countryside.
On arrival, transfer to Hush Heath Estate, home to the Balfour
Winery. Enjoy a welcome glass of fizz, created in the same way as
fine French Champagnes, before a guided tour and tutored tasting
provides a fascinating insight into winemaking. As you relax in the
pretty surrounds, Dame Joanna Lumley will talk about her life and
career, also opening the floor to guests' questions.
Return to the train for your journey back to London and settle down
with a gourmet four-course dinner, with specially-selected wine
from your sommelier as you look back on a memorable day.
"The whole day was incredible! Being pampered on board, the service was excellent, it was everything expected and more."

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.
