Part of our 10th Harvest Anniversary Dinner Series

Join us for a special wine dinner at The Star in Alfriston, East Sussex for a four-course meal with Rathfinny wine pairings, hosted by our brand ambassador, Richard. Throughout the evening, you will learn all about the history of Rathfinny and how we make our world-class Sussex Sparkling wines, just a stone’s throw away from this local village inn.

It’s going to be a great evening with some exciting wines from our library that you wouldn’t taste every day!

About our Rathfinny

10th Harvest Anniversary Celebrations

Each year, Rathfinny welcomes more than 200 British pickers, predominantly from the local Sussex community, to hand-pick each grape. This is an essential element to maintaining quality as we are a single-site, grower-producer crafting Traditional Method vintage wines with Sussex PDO status. 

2024 marks 10 years since the first harvest at Rathfinny. To celebrate, we are co-hosting a series of wine dinners around the country during the harvest season between September and October.

Rathfinny is a gastronomy wine that is best enjoyed with food, so we’re collaborating with a range of chefs to bring you the best pairing combinations. You will sample our Sussex Sparkling portfolio (plus a surprise or two) over dinner as we share our story from grape to glass over the past decade.
