Rathfinny Wine Estate
Alfriston, East Sussex

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.
Rathfinny Sussex Sparkling wines are only found in the finest restaurants, independent wine merchants or available directly from our Cellar Door.
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.
