Family-owned Rathfinny Wine Estate is a pioneering grower-producer of English sparkling wines. Situated in a picturesque valley near the charming village of Alfriston in the South Downs, the Estate offers exceptional dining and wine-tasting experiences alongside cosy accommodation option.
Established in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver, Rathfinny crafts world-class Sussex Sparkling that embodies the unique South Down terroir. Over the past decade, it has earned a reputation as one of England's finest wine destinations, with the Dining Room restaurant and Cellar Door shop open to visitors.
Located a couple of hours from London, the Rathfinny provides the ideal base for exploring the local art, history, landscape and world-renowned wines of Sussex. For lovers of the outdoors, there are endless walking trails around the Vineyard and cycle routes across the South Downs. The close proximity to the coast means you can take a dip in the sea at the nearby Cuckmere Haven or Seaford beach and explore the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs.
As the world's first grower-producer of sparkling wine to achieve B Corp certification, Rathfinny demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices, alongside a passion for exceptional winemaking.
