Write a reviewMy friend and I did the tour and tasting on a wild and wet January Sunday. Our guide, James, was a great tour leader with his vast knowledge of the history and processes of English sparkling wine making. He delivered his facts in a strong voice that carried above the wind and then led us in a tasting inside, giving hints on what we might taste. The four wines we tried were wonderful and then we had a further complimentary glass with our roast. All in all, a very good value and enjoyable tour.

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.

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.
