Jamie & Jimmy Visit Ridgeview

Jamie Oliver and his best mate Jimmy Doherty tried their hand at becoming Winemakers on a visit to Ridgeview. Filmed before the pandemic in the Summer of 2019 as a part of their Friday Night Feast program Jamie and Jamie visited us on their quest to the South Downs of Sussex to explore English sparkling wine.

Aired on Friday 29th of January at 8pm Channel 4, we feature alongside guest host Susan Sarandon in the final episode of the series. As a part of every show Jamie & Jimmy set themselves a series of challenges. In this episode we see Jimmy leading Jamie to the South Downs in Sussex; he has heard English sparkling is competing with some of the best wines in the world and wants to learn more.

Jamie & Jimmy join our Head Winemaker Simon Roberts as apprentices for the day, trying their hand at blending the base wines. It was then Simons job to judge who had created the best blend.

Simon commented: “What an honour to have Jamie, Jimmy and the team spend the morning with us at Ridgeview. With their passion for all things wine and knowledgeable palates, they made for great apprentices. We have always been admirers of Jamie & Jimmy, and we had so much fun filming with lots of laughs.”

New Season, New Setting

VINEYARD DINING GETS COSY

From vineyard to winery, we move with the seasons, and so does our restaurant, The Rows & Vine. As the cooler weather draws in, we head indoors to the Winery.

A cosy, casual and contemporary space to sip, meet and eat, The Rows & Vine at the Winery offers sweeping vineyard views and a glimpse of our tanks, cellars and winemaking in action. With a sumptuous new sharing-and-pairing menu (*coming soon*), Ridgeview’s restaurant takes on a fresh seasonal magic this autumn/winter.

From Sunday 5 October, all bookings will be held indoors.
