Rathfinny’s multi-million pound facility is hoped to help make the winery one of the most up-to-date in the country and Europe.

The unveiling of a plaque by the Princess Royal will mark the culmination of more than eight years of work by the founders – husband and wife team Mark and Sarah Driver.

Rathfinny’s first sparkling wines, a Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé will be released in June 2018.
