The deal includes a seat on the iconic Golden Arrow Pullman, a train that first launched in 1929 and once starred in Downton Abbey. Plus Emma enjoyed a three-course lunch complete with generous wine pairings and sweeping views of the Sussex countryside. A similar tour used to run for an eye-watering £335. Guests are picked up from East Grinstead station by a vintage double-decker bus before being whisked away to board the all-first-class Pullman train. Upon arrival, you're handed a glass of fizz before settling in for an indulgent meal of artisan cheeses, hot drinks, and more wine as you trundle past flower fields, rolling hills and quaint country bridges. But the fun doesn't stop there, after the train ride, guests are taken to a local vineyard for another tipple or two. You can explore the vines, take a winery tour and sip yet more English sparkling before heading back to town. Emma said: 'It was such a dreamy experience, a full day of wine tasting, food and vintage vibes, all for a tenner!' The event is called the Grape British Railway. The limited experience, organised by Uber, is running on August 23 and 30, and after selling out fast, more tickets are dropping at 10am on Monday 11 August and Tuesday 12 August.

One said: '£10 is insanely good." Another added: 'This is amazing, I'm so excited to book!' The train itself is a slice of history. Launched in the 1920s, the Golden Arrow Pullman was famous for its plush armchair seating, polished wooden interiors, and luxe cocktail bar carriage. It linked London to Paris via Dover and a ferry crossing, offering first-class travel with timeless elegance. Luxury train travel and vineyard hopping have both seen a major surge this summer but this might just be the best value wine experience in the UK. And with new ticket drops confirmed for next week, there's still time to sip in style without breaking the bank. 6 Guests are picked up from East Grinstead station before making their way Credit: Belmond 6 The Golden Arrow Pullman was famous for its plush armchair seating 6 It crosses through beautiful country-side landscapes 6 Tickets go live next week Credit: Ellie Mitchell
