ROEBUCK ESTATES PUTS THE SPARKLE INTO SUMMER WITH ITS DAZZLING PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

Premium vintage sparkling wine brand Roebuck Estates can today unveil their summer events programme, featuring a range of unrivalled experiences in the heart of the Sussex countryside, just a stone’s throw from London (c. 59 minutes from London Waterloo to Haslemere, a short taxi ride away).

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. Whilst 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, Roebuck has sought to minimise its environmental impact every step of the way, with conservation and biodiversity at the core of all that they do.

Throughout the warmer months from May to September, visitors can enjoy some of the most magnificent southerly views towards the South Downs via a visit to Roebuck’s home vineyard, close to the picturesque market town of Petworth in West Sussex. It is the jewel in Roebuck’s crown and home to their oldest vines, planted in 2006, with Classic Champagne varietals Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier leading the way and bringing elegance and finesse to Roebuck’s award-winning vintage sparkling wines.

Roebuck’s Sunset Sippings, from £25pp; Selected Friday Evenings from May to September, 5.30-8.30pm
Enjoy a relaxed Friday evening with friends and loved ones, watching as the sun goes down over the breathtaking landscape whilst sipping Roebuck’s exceptional range of vintage sparkling wines. Your Sunset Sipping ticket includes a complimentary glass of Roebuck on arrival, together with a reserved seat within ‘The View’, Roebuck’s welcoming tasting area, which is situated in the heart of its spectacular vineyard with panoramic views all around. Wood-fired pizza from just £7pp is available to further enhance the experience, with the option to purchase wine by the bottle or glass throughout the evening.

Roebuck’s Tours & Tastings, from £25pp: Most Fridays and Saturdays from May to September, timings vary
For those who want to understand more about the landscape and its influence on some of the UK’s leading sparkling wines, Roebuck offers a tour of their picturesque home vineyard, followed by a tutored tasting of their delectable range. Every wine tells a story and Roebuck will tell you the story behind their Classic Cuvée, Rosé de Noirs and Blanc de Noirs, while you sample a chilled glass of each, gaining a greater understanding of each vintage and the winemaking techniques deployed to create such perfection.
