Rathfinny Wine Estate

Rathfinny Wine Estate is a distinctive event destination in the South Downs National Park, offering organisers an atmospheric vineyard setting for corporate gatherings, private celebrations, wine experiences and weddings. Surrounded by rolling Sussex countryside, the estate combines a working winery with flexible hospitality spaces, panoramic views and a relaxed sense of place.

For business events, Rathfinny provides an inspiring alternative to conventional meeting venues.

Organisers can add a guided talk and tasting, giving guests an engaging introduction to English sparkling wine and the estate’s winemaking story. The winery’s tasting room offers an elegant setting with views across the vines and South Downs, while additional spaces at Flint Barns provide a more intimate and characterful atmosphere for dining and private occasions.

The estate also welcomes special celebrations, including private parties and milestone gatherings. Event experiences can be shaped around seasonal food, Sussex wines, vineyard tours and relaxed hospitality. Flint Barns offers beautifully converted accommodation with ten en-suite bedrooms, while Rathfinny Cottage provides private self-catering accommodation for up to four guests, making the estate well suited to multi-day retreats and exclusive-use occasions.

Rathfinny has a dedicated wedding offering, with the Flint Barns and Tasting Room available for carefully planned celebrations, subject to availability and current development plans. The vineyard, historic buildings, accommodation, dining spaces and surrounding landscape create a memorable backdrop for ceremonies, receptions and wedding photography. With event enquiries handled directly by the estate team, Rathfinny Wine Estate is a compelling choice for organisers seeking a peaceful, characterful and highly distinctive venue in Sussex.
