We’re excited to welcome Executive Chef Paul Walsh from London’s City Social restaurant to the Tasting Room on Saturday 11th October.

Walsh has crafted a prestigious career among London’s finest restaurants, from the Savoy Grill where we worked under Marcus Wareing to joining Restaurant Gordon Ramsay as Senior Sous Chef alongside contemporaries Clare Smythe and Mark Askew. It wasn’t until 2014 when Walsh joined City Social that he found his long-term project: leading the way in the British fine dining scene.

Walsh’s passion for an elegant and refined style of cooking feels right at home in our Tasting Room and will appeal to many guests who have dined with us over the years.

Grape picking in England

Harvest at Rathfinny

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

2025 marks 11 years since the first harvest at Rathfinny. To celebrate, we are welcoming a range of chefs from interesting restaurants where our wines are served to bring you new pairing combinations.

Afterall, Rathfinny Sussex Sparkling is a gastronomy wine that is best enjoyed with food.
