The weather was perfect today for our showcase of Sussex vineyards to our Norwegian markets! It was our second FAM trip in as many weeks as Sussex becomes the hottest spot for visitors looking to explore the worlds newest wine region. We picked up guests from the Iconic Brighton Grand Hotel for a tour of the Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and the stunning Brighton Pavilion before it was wine time! We headed to Highweald Wine Estate for a tour, tasting followed by BBQ by the fantastic Pickle and Brine . Wiston Estate followed with a tour and tasting before heading onto the beautiful Historic Sussex Hotels - Bailiffs Court. Thank you to Alan Ramirez and the team at Spectra DMC , Darren Johnson from VisitBrighton and Hollie Chichester at VisitEngland / VisitBritain and Maisie Phillips from the Brighton Grand who asked us showcase our amazing Sussex vineyards for their clients. Working with you is always a pleasure and we look forward to welcoming your guests in 2025 😊🍾🥂🇳🇴🇬🇧 #mice #corporate #sussex #grouptourism

I had the pleasure of connecting with some remarkable entrepreneurs at the Arun Hospitality & Tourism Arun Golf Club gathering. My goal was to promote the Sussex By The Sea tourism site, which highlights our valued partners: Visit Arundel, Love Bognor, Visit Littlehampton, South Downs National Park, and the Experience Sussex Partnership. In recent months, Sussex By The Sea has seen rapid growth in our follower base, and I’m excited to share our journey! As the coordinator for our paid media efforts and the blog manager, I’m dedicated to uncovering and showcasing the hidden gems of the Arun District. It was inspiring to engage in meaningful discussions with Kelly Mikulla, founder of the Sussex Film Office, and 🍦Victoria (Hilditch) Owens, who created the Love Bognor site and now manages several thriving businesses. Katharine Beer representing Experience Sussex Partnerships, Amanda Hopkinson and Chris Hopkinson who manage the brilliant Visit Arundel site and many more brilliant businesses. We all commented on how nurturing it is in West Sussex and how we are supporting and knowledge sharing in a way that is rare. A huge thanks to Richard Groome for hosting such a fantastic event that sparked so many innovative ideas! #EastBeachGuestHouse #Vinco #Sussex Film Office #VisitEngland #ExperienceSussexPartnership #TheBeach #VisitArundel #LoveBognor #VisitLittlehampton
