Ridgeview Wine Estate

Our experience at Ridgeview was absolutely lovely and something new to try, especially if you’re looking for a great idea for couples! Perfect for a date with your partner, husband, or wife. The tour was very informative — the staff were warm and welcoming, and they answered all our questions promptly. It was such an interesting experience, and we even learned something new! The wine tasting with a stunning view was fantastic. We got to taste five different wines, and I especially loved the Red Sparkling Wine. Even my partner, who never usually likes red wine, said he’s now considering having one! It was very easy to book, and according to my partner, the online customer service was very accommodating and approachable. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth doing! 🍷✨

We had an absolutely fantastic day out here! It’s a beautiful venue, the wine is delicious and so is the food. We did one of the tours. Lynn was our tour guide, she was kind, welcoming and so knowledgeable! We loved it and would definitely return! 🫶🏼

An amazing day out. Extremely good value: wine tasting for 6 wines is £20 and takes roughly 45 mins to an hour. Lovely surroundings with two restaurants and an open top viewing gallery of the vineyards. All the staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and well mannered helping towards our fantastic experience! We’ll be back!

Did the tour and taste for £35 and it is approximately 90 mins. They advise you to pre book your taxi (which they recommended a couple) to and from the venue as you may not wish to walk the 25 to 30 minutes from the station. Taxi was prompt for pick up outside Burgess Hill Station and at venue. I believe Ridgeview did use to run a shuttle service but not sure why that has stopped. James was an excellent guide, was thorough, knowledgeable and had jokes😁 The tour includes the vineyards, the history of the venue and English wine, the process of how the wine is made and bottled plus you get to taste 4 wines in their tasting room including one of their vintage wines. A really great experience overall and would recommend.

Great tour from a really interesting guide. Knew a deep history, and kept it local instead of broadly about wine. Went through the vineyards, process, and then to the tasting room where reach of the 4 we tried were of a superb quality. Highly recommend!

Visited to purchase some wines. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and shared excellent wine knowledge. Lots of parking. Lovely location with restaurant onsite ( although I did not eat in it, the option was available) Recommended to visit.

10 out of 10! From the moment we were greeted before our tour to the moment we were seen off after our dinner at the restaurant, it was a perfect day! Strongly recommend if you want an elegant and relaxed day. Many thanks to everyone who made us feel welcome and made our visit memorable 💛

We had the most wonder day at Ridgeview! We had a guided tour and tasting with Lyn, this was fabulous! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and an incredible guide around the estate. We then had lunch at the Rows and vine which was sensational! The staff were absolutely incredible they were so kind and accommodating and gave the best recommendations, and the food was incredible. Really couldn’t fault the day. Highly recommend everything!

This review certainly is a pleasure to write and a little bit of my childhood heritage. No, I wasn't a childhood alcoholic from a broken home, but the Estate is located right next to my 'backyard' where I grew up as a child. They are based next to Ditchling common and have ample parking. When you enter, you can see the heart of the production area before finding yourself in the sales/tasting room upstairs, overlooking the vineyard. They grow a lot of the grapes they use on site and there are tours available of the vineyards. Other grapes are bought in from the local area. They bottle only sparkling wines which are obviously not sold as 'champagne', but that is pretty much what you are getting in the bottle. The vineyard has received countless awards for the quality of their wines and they offer drop in tasting sessions, along with pre-arranged group sittings. When I went, there were only 2 varieties on offer, but by now the next seasons range will be on sale making 6 varieties available to sample and buy. I have bought a delicious pinot blended wine, which I am saving for my Masters graduation and that date cannot come around fast enough. Whether it's to celebrate a good grade, or to commiserate an epic failure, at least I will be drinking top notch booze. Worth every star i have given.
