About
Join us at the Rathfinny Wine Estate, founded in 2010 by Mark and Sarah Driver with the ambition of producing some of the world’s finest English sparkling wines. Set in the historic South Downs, the estate is dedicated not only to crafting exceptional Sussex Sparkling wines but also to enhancing the unique character of this beautifully farmed landscape.
Rathfinny is proud to be the world’s first grower-producer of sparkling wine to achieve B Corp certification, recognising its commitment to ethical, sustainable, and transparent practices. Learn about the family’s journey and how it has shaped the business, its staff, and the wider community.
After the visit, guests are welcome to explore the estate at their leisure.
