Gaptrast Takeover at Rathfinny

Incoming to the Tasting Room on 27th September is the Michelin-starred team behind Norwegian restaurant, Gaptrast. For one night only, the crew will be swapping the fjords in Bergen for the Seven Sisters in Sussex, serving an eight-course tasting menu as we welcome the start of harvest on the Vineyard.

Did you know: a ‘gaptrast’ is another name for a fieldfare – a hungry, vocal bird in the thrush family that migrates from Scandinavia to the UK from September through to the winter months. Fieldfares can be spotted on the Vineyard so it’s only fitting the team should fly south this autumn!
