Bluebell Railway Vineyard
Bluebell Railway Vineyard
This is a small plot of land with fertile loam soil on a slightly south-facing, open aspect site next to the famous heritage steam railway line running between Kingscote and Sheffield Park. In 2009 a small amount of Seyval Blanc was planted here, following successful winemaking using this variety of grapes, which were bought in 2007 from another vineyard. The amazing aromas and palate encouraged the trial planting of this variety. It was also decided that the vines would be planted on Geneva Double Curtain (GDC), with rows 3m wide and 1.2m apart.

The volunteer run Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line of the old London Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1960. Since then it has developed into one of the largest tourist attractions in Sussex,

it still remains true to its objectives of the preservation for posterity of a country branch line, its steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.
