The plan

  • Meet at Ashford International for the 11:00 tour: Warehorne, then Wayfarer with the platter
  • Back in Ashford about 16:00, dropped at the outlet rather than the station
  • Shop until closing. Guest Services keeps your bags, and any bottles from the vineyards, for free while you shop (Drop & Shop, bring photo ID)
  • Under five minutes' walk to the station for your train

We run this day Thursday to Saturday. On a Sunday the outlet closes at 18:00, which leaves two hours. The 13:00 tour works too, Thursday to Saturday, back about 18:00.

  • Outlet hours: Monday to Friday 10:00 to 20:00, Saturday 09:00 to 21:00, Sunday 10:00 to 18:00. Check the outlet's website before you go.

Guest feedback

  • Hidden vineyards I never knew existed, warm and genuine hospitality, and food and wine that honestly rival France. Our driver Aly was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and a real highlight of the day. We rounded things off with a great hour at Ashford Designer Outlet before heading back — the perfect ending to a brilliant trip. Already planning my next one!
