Ridgeview was founded in 1995 by Mike & Chris Roberts and is dedicated to creating world class sparkling wines in the South Downs of England. Our vineyards specialise in growing classic grape varieties to make the highest quality bottle fermented sparkling wines. The world class status of our wines is reflected by the number of national & international medals and trophies we have received since the release of our first wines from the 1996 vintage.

The second generation of the family have now become established in key roles within Ridgeview, enabling the continued expansion of the business. Our dedication, passion and determination have significantly contributed to the international reputation and popularity now attributed to English Sparkling Wine. This passion and determination is shared by a great team of dedicated staff who are fundamental to the continuing success of Ridgeview.

Proud pioneers of sustainable winemaking, we are co-founders of Sustainable WineGB and a B Corporation™️ accredited business since 2022.  Awarded South Downs Green Tourism Gold status.

Proud Winners of 2018 IWSC International Winemaker of the Year and many other accolades.
