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 November.

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.
