Since 1995, our family has been producing world-class English sparkling wine within the South Downs National Park, in Sussex, focusing on quality and sustainability from grape to glass. We became B Corp accredited in 2022.
Our greatest joy is to share this with you, to celebrate life’s big milestones and those little moments in between.
From a visit to our vineyard to raising a Ridgeview toast, there is always a joyful reminder that… "Life is for Celebrating."
It began with a pioneering vision nearly 30 years ago: to create exceptional sparkling wine in the heart of Sussex, that would be celebrated around the world. Many thought it couldn't be done, but we were set to put English winemaking on the global stage.
We found a beautiful spot, beneath the South Downs ridge, perfetly positioned to grow the traditional grape varieties used in the world's finest sparkling wines. With passion and determination, we became leaders of the English wine revolution.
