Life is for Celebrating Ridgeview Wine Estate

CELEBRATING COMMUNITY - Sustainability starts with people

There’s a lot more to Ridgeview than meets the eye. We are proud pioneers of the English wine industry, with a deep-rooted social mission that goes far beyond this.

As a purpose-driven, family business, we have a skyward vision to match the quality and dedication we devote to our wine, with our commitment to a positive social impact. Thanks to our passionate customers, partners and employees, Ridgeview’s trailblazing work continues to lead and inspire.

Here’s how we live that change…

We have a focus charity of the year, which for 2022 is a renewed partnership with Table Talk Foundation.

OUR TEAM IN THE COMMUNITY

Ridgeview champions our employees’ endeavours to support causes close to their heart. We are vibrant, diverse and dynamic team, with a caring culture of social responsibility who believe in doing business for good.

We run a number of charitable initiatives together as a team, like our staff raffles, foodbank donations and annual activity challenge, a charity initiative masterminded by our CEO, Tamara Roberts.

Our team set personal activity goals which Ridgeview rewards by donating to a monthly charity of choice when they hit their target together.

It’s important to Ridgeview that we enable our team members to support charities that are personal to their own background, story and values. That’s why we offer a payroll giving scheme and will be launching Volunteering Days in 2022, providing staff with paid time off to take part in charitable activities close to their hearts.
