Premium vintage sparkling wine brand Roebuck Estates have today served up their summer events programme, packed with one-of-a-kind experiences right in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside. It’s the perfect way to add a little sparkle to your summer without straying too far from London—just a quick train ride (around 59 minutes from London Waterloo to Haslemere), followed a short taxi ride.
Established in 2013 with its first sparkling wine launched to huge acclaim in 2019, Roebuck perfectly marries together its vision to create premium sparkling wines from the finest English vineyard sites, leaving only the lightest footprint on the environment. Its renowned range of sparkling wines have gone on to win multiple awards and are served within some of the world’s most prestigious settings, from luxury hotels and restaurants including The Savoy, Apricity and the Mandarin Oriental, through to premium retailers including Selfridges and Liberty London, where it remains the only English Sparkling Wine available. Not only have they bagged a bunch of awards and earned spots in some of the fanciest venues around the world, but they’ve also worked hard to minimise their environmental impact every step of the way, with sustainability and biodiversity at the heart of all they do.
From May to September, you can soak up some breathtaking views of the South Downs while visiting Roebuck’s stunning vineyard near the charming market town of Petworth in West Sussex. This place is truly a gem! It’s home to their oldest vines, which were planted back in 2006—think classic Champagne varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier working together to create that elegant and refined bubbling magic that Roebuck is known for.
