Wine Tasting with Fish & Chips

As a coastal wine estate, seafood is a natural pairing with our wines. Over lunch, you will learn about the history of Rathfinny and try two of our Sussex Sparkling wines and two still wines from our Cradle Valley label. This tasting will show you how our clean, fresh and fruit-driven wines pair well with fish and chips. The tasting includes our new Classic Cuvée 2020 and Blanc de Blancs 2019, plus our Cradle Valley Chardonnay 2023 and Pinot Gris 2024.

The tasting will take place in our Tasting Room, so you can sit back and enjoy the panoramic views of the vines with freshly prepared fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, made by our chefs.

In the UK, Rathfinny Wine Estate is one of the closest vineyards to the sea – just three miles from the English channel and the iconic Seven Sisters Country Park. The quality of the grapes we grow are indebted to our site which is situated on chalk soils with a south-facing aspect, where we benefit from coastal breezes and a long growing season. This helps to produce wines with perfectly balanced acidity, fruit-forward flavours and a signature mouthfeel.

This event takes place during English Wine Week 2026 which is an annual celebration encouraging everyone to get behind the incredible range of high quality, home-grown wines that we produce in this country.
