Rathfinny Wine Estate
Alfriston, East Sussex
BN26 5TU
United Kingdom
Our family-run Wine Estate with B Corp status, established in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, is dedicated to producing some of the world’s finest English sparkling wines from a single-site Sussex Vineyard. Located on a wonderful south-facing slope in England’s South Downs, the climate, chalk soil and aspect make it the perfect UK Vineyard for producing Sussex Sparkling wine.
Our low-intervention, Traditional Method, vintage Sussex Sparkling wines are a true expression of our terroir. Produced from hand-harvested grapes that are whole-bunch pressed and patiently matured, on lees and in bottle to develop rich, autolytic notes, with a low dosage that emphasises the purity of our fruit.
Join us for lunch at our Michelin-recommended Tasting Room Restaurant, and enjoy panoramic Vineyard views with a curated selection of small and large plates perfectly paired with our Sussex Sparkling wines. For dinner, indulge in comforting, generous dishes at the Flint Barns Dining Room, or savour a relaxed glass of wine at our alfresco Wine Bar, The Hut. We also host a range of seasonal dining experiences and events throughout the year.
