The Tasting Room at Rathfinny Estate

We opened our fine dining Tasting Room Restaurant in summer 2018 when we launched our first vintages of Sussex Sparkling wines. In 2020 and 2021 we were proud to be awarded The Plate Michelin. Our goal is to provide Sussex with a gastronomical treasure, serving authentic British cuisine that pairs perfectly with our Sussex Sparkling wines. Book a table via our website.

Wined and Dined: Chris Bailey at the Rathfinny Estate
The Rathfinny Estate may be predominantly known for its famous sparkling wine but since 2018, chef Chris Bailey has ensured that the food at the estate’s Tasting Room restaurant has been getting plenty of attention of its own. We chat to Chris about how he ended up at Rathfinny, his cookery style, and what to expect from the food at The Tasting Room.

We take a look at what makes both British food and wine so special and how they can work together hand in hand.
