Offices
Founded in 1986 by the husband and wife team Lynette Arblaster and Tim Clarke, Arblaster & Clarke are now recognised as the world’s number one provider of specialist wine tours. We remain small and independent, with a firm commitment to the provision of the highest quality wine tours available.
We have been based in this lovely corner of East Hampshire since we started. Our old office in West Liss dated back 200 years, to the late medieval period. Our new office, Cedar Court, is located in Petersfield town centre, a short walk away from the high street. After some redecoration (and a few rugs for Clovis to feel at home), we are now settled into the new building! Part of the building is listed as a building of historic importance grade 2. The Cedar of Lebanon in the garden is listed too. We have more space in this office, however we occupy only part of the building on the first floor.

We really believe holidays are important, and strive to give you a pleasurable experience from the moment you first call us. Our full-time 'in house team' (pictured above, there are more staff in Marketing and Accounts) are experts in the areas they manage and share a passion for great wine and food - wherever it is to be found. If you choose to book your holiday with us, you come face to face with the people who personally put together every aspect of the holiday. It is likely that the person who answers the phone, will have set up the tour, know the hotels, have tasted the wines, written the itinerary and then joins you on the tour.
To find us
Petersfield is in Hampshire and just off the A3, the main London - Portsmouth road.
By Road: From London follow the A3 signposted Portsmouth. On route you will pass Guildford before the Devils Punch Bowl at Hindhead. Continue along the A3 signposted Portsmouth, Petersfield. At the only roundabout on the A3 take the 2nd exit straight ahead and continue along the A3. At the sign post for Midhurst/Petersfield exit onto the slip road. You will have joined the A272. At the roundabout turn right onto the B2070. You will pass Churchers College on your left before joining a one way system. Continue on the one way system in the right hand lane following the road round to the right. On your left you will see the 'White Hart' pub. Arblaster and Clarke Wine Tour offices are directly opposite. There is a Cedar tree right out the front - You can't miss us!
You can park your car around the back in our visitors car parking space. To get to the car park take the first small right hand turn alongside the building. If you miss this turning don't worry follow the one way system round to the right (like a roundabout) and you will eventually be back where you started.
By Train: We are just over an hour from London. Take a train from Waterloo on the Portsmouth Harbour line which runs every 15 mins and all trains stop at Petersfield. When you arrive, walk straight out of the ticket office, across the road (mini roundabout) and carry straight down Lavant Street, you will need to go straight over at the crossroads to the bottom of the street, where there is a T junction. Cross the road and turn left. Soon after turn right into Waitrose car park. Walk straight through the car park heading towards the exit over the other side (ignoring the left turning) onto College Street. Immediately in front of you is Cedar Court (with the purple A&C sign on the front of the building).
Walking from the station takes approx: 10 minutes.
