Wine Tours in London: Book These 8 Before You Fly

1.London Eye – Champagne Experience Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 665 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.) · from $81Our pick

Meet your host in the VIP lounge, skip the main queue, and share a 30-minute London Eye flight with up to 25 people. Enjoy chilled Moët & Chandon, guided views of London, and help with photos from hosts such as Diana, Wil, Mia, or Sophie Jo. A non-alcoholic drink and fruit juice are available.

“Highly Recommend the VIP Experience! I would definitely recommend choosing the VIP experience for the London Eye. Meeting in the private lounge before the ride was a great way to escape the crowds and enjoy a relaxing cocktail. The whole experience was smooth and the afternoon views were absolutely stunning. The pace of the ride was just right—not too fast—allowing plenty of time to take it all in. Absolutely worth the cost!”

2.River Thames Evening Cruise with Sparkling wine and Canapés

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 569 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $45Best value

Board at Tower Pier for a two-hour evening cruise toward Westminster and Canary Wharf. Sip sparkling wine, eat light canapés, hear live music, and photograph Big Ben, the London Eye, Globe Theatre, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, and the Shard. This is a scenic night out, not a narrated sightseeing tour.

“Great experience overall - complimentary drink on arrival and small appetizers brought around by the staff throughout and prices for additional drinks were reasonable. The staff on the boat were excellent and provided great service. The boat itself was pretty comfortable and we had great views of London in the evening.”

3.Sussex Vineyard & Winery Bus Tour on Iconic Vintage London Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 89 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $201

Ride from Brighton on an iconic vintage London bus to two Sussex wineries. Guide Danny leads tastings and vineyard visits, with English sparkling and still wines, a locally made picnic, and time to browse or stroll. Venues can change, so expect a flexible day built around Sussex wine, food, and countryside.

“What an amazing day. I was initially unsure as quite pricy but if you work out what you get it's good value. 2 wine tastings at 2 vineyards, lunch, the London bus & driver, plus a Great British Wine Adventures guide. The second vineyard, (and they vary, but Bluebell for us), was far superior and we had an expected amount of wine. The first one was a bit tight and they completely missed the commercial opportunity to sell people a chilled bottle of wine with their lunch? They were distracted by a bigger tour from another company I think and even the shop seemed unmanned? Didn't affect the day it…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 18 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $562

Travel from London to Paris by reserved Eurostar, then see the city by sightseeing bus, Seine cruise, and coach. The main event is a three-course champagne lunch at the Eiffel Tower, though lunch arrangements can change, so confirm the details before booking.

“First, let me say our tour guide Peter was excellent. The rest of this review is no reflection of him. He was kind, knowledgable and helpful. As fir the tour itself, we booked it expecting a champagne lunch at the Eifel Tower. That was the bring draw. There were other similiar more affordable tours w/o it. However, the tour operator notified us last minute that lunch at tje Eifel tour was canceled and instead booked on tje Siene River Cruise. We were refunded apx $53 each (4 ppl) for a tour that cost apx $2K for 4. Not an equittable exchange but at that point we had little time to…”

Use fast-track entry at Madame Tussauds London, begin with a chilled glass of Pommery Brut Royal at the 1835 Champagne Bar, then explore three floors of more than 150 wax figures. You can pose with royalty, movie stars, and music icons, while off-peak tickets help you visit at quieter times.

“It was a nice experience. You get to skip the waiting lines and go straight up to the bar for a glass of champagne. Afterwards you enter Madame Tussauds through a door in the bar. Madame Tussauds is a great place to visit. However, it is really a sensory overload for peoplRead more”
