Unfortunately we picked a day where they were spraying the vines so a self guided tour wasn't possible, but the wine tasting was excellent and the staff incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The real highlight for us though was the vineyards own restaurant the Rows & Vine. Sitting outside in a series of mostly enclosed garden rooms you have fantastic views of the estate that should be comfortable in all but the most inclement weather. The food is served as a series of smaller dishes, 2-3 of which will provide a sumptuous meal that will fill you up, particularly if you get some sides like bread or nuts. A good selection for vegetarians and a few for vegans should keep everyone happy. The Salmon tartar was outstanding, a beautiful balance of flavours with the very fresh fish whilst the squash, cheese and sage wontons with an incredible smoked chilli and garlic butter were worth the visit alone.

My husband surprised me by taking me to Ridgeview for my birthday! We did a tour, tasting and dinner. The tour was about 1hr and our guide was fascinating, I learnt so much! We then did the tasting (30-mins), which of course was delicious! Purchased some items from the shop (standard!) and then went for dinner. It was October and we were one of the last sittings outside. Alfresco dining next to the vines, with the sun setting and the South Downs as your backdrop was really spectacular! The food was delicious (small plates) and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back. I heard they do a good Sunday Roast, so may try that next!

We had a fantastic day at Ridgeview. We started with the audio tour of the vineyards which we enjoyed doing ourselves.
Special thanks to Simon who explained our wine tasting, he was very friendly and knowledgable and we decided to purchase the blanc de blanc.
We also had a lovey meal at the Rows & Vines. We particularly enjoyed the cheese board, scallops and potato hash.

We visited the restaurant (Row & Vine) for lunch on a Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The menu consists of good-sized sharing plates which were all excellent - we had the cheese and ham platter, steak, pork belly, potted crab, fish tacos and green beans between three people (and could maybe have had one more dish). The sparkling wine is, of course, top quality and we enjoyed three bottles of Fitzrovia and one bottle of their sparkling red. They needed the table back after a few hours but there's a small garden area with seating where we had our last bottle in the sun. The service was very friendly and helpful and we would highly recommend. Suggest booking a taxi back to Burgess Hill (if getting the train) unless you want to walk, as it can be a little difficult to get one otherwise.

We came for Sunday lunch on recommendation and it didn't disappoint! Our table was ready, the service was friendly and efficient, and the food absolutely delicious.
We were indoors as it is winter but hope to return for the outside seating in the summer.

Had the best experience with Simon, who guided us through the vineyard and did our wine tasting.
Although I have been to many wine tours before, Simon was very knowledgable and I found new information I wasn’t aware of.
The wine itself it’s incredible and we were very lucky to be able to try some of Simon’s recomended wines.
I booked during the winter but the experience was still amazing even on a muddy cloudy day.
Thank you for having us! Ridgeview ?

We really enjoyed the tour and tasting. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and informative. We tasted four excellent Ridgeview sparkling wines and bought a bottle of each of our favourites. Highly recommended.

I recently visited this sparkling wine estate in Sussex and had a fantastic experience. They offer a convenient shuttle service from the nearest train station, Burgess Hill, on weekends. The wine tour was excellent—both informative and enjoyable. Our guide, Lynn, was outstanding and really enhanced the experience. We wrapped up the tour with a tasting of four of their sparkling wines, which added the perfect finishing touch to the visit.
