Harvest Dosage Tasting

Learn about the history of Rathfinny whilst gaining an insight into the decisions of a winemaker. For the harvest season only, our Dosage Tasting experience allows you to discover first-hand how the addition of sugar in sparkling wine changes the style and structure.

Meet our Harvest Crew

Did you know, we recruit pickers from the local community to hand pick every grape? This ensures quality control when it comes to hand-selecting the best fruit to go into our wines. The Vineyard is all a buzz with new and familiar faces working together to bring in a successful crop, before celebrating their efforts with a well-deserved team lunch and glass of Sussex at the end.
