Ridgeview Wine Estate

Ridgeview Wine Estate rocketed Sussex to wine stardom when it was the first-ever English winner of Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2018. Its sparkling wine also gained royal approval when it was served at the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Keen to try it for yourself? Visit in summer when the hills of the surrounding South Downs National Park turn bottle-green – it’s the perfect backdrop for a wine tasting al fresco, accompanied by a hamper stuffed with locally produced goodies.
