October 2021
WINE, DINE, TOUR AND STAY
Harvest is the most exciting time of the year to visit our Wine Estate. To celebrate, we are welcoming guests to dine at the Flint Barns Harvest Marquee Restaurant throughout October.
Please note, all 2021 harvest experiences have now finished.

Harvest Marquee Restaurant
The much anticipated Harvest Marquee Restaurant will return for lunches and evening meals from Friday 1st to Sunday 31st October. The menu, curated and cooked by Estate Head Chef, Chris Bailey, uses ingredients guided by the season, Sussex region and inspired by the Vineyard. Expect the finest seasonal produce available from the land, sea and garden of the British Isles.

Harvest Blending Tasting
We are delighted to offer a new and unique wine tasting experience this harvest. Learn about the history of Rathfinny and taste your way through the many steps it takes to make Traditional Method sparkling wine. Enjoy a walk among the vines with your tour guide (weather permitting) who will give you a first-hand insight into the progression of our harvest before sitting down for a blending tasting. In total you will taste four to five base wines (and try blending them together to make your own cuvée), before finally tasting a selection of four of our Sussex wines to gain an insight in the job of a winemaker.
October only | Time. 1.30pm and 3.30pm Tuesday- Sunday | Duration. 1hr 30mins in total
