If you’re looking for the best new Brighton sparkling wine bar this summer, your search is over. One of Sussex’s most celebrated wineries, Roebuck Estates, has brought its award-winning English sparkling wines into the city with the launch of The Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bar at the beautiful Royal Pavilion Rooms.
Open throughout July and August 2026, this stylish pop-up offers you the chance to sip exceptional vintage sparkling wine in one of Brighton’s most iconic locations, all without leaving the city for the vineyards.
A Taste of the Sussex Vineyards in Brighton
For years, Roebuck Estates has welcomed guests to its vineyard near Petworth, where sweeping views across the South Downs provide the backdrop for tasting its acclaimed vintage wines. This summer, that vineyard experience has been thoughtfully reimagined for Brighton, combining the same passion for English winemaking with the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
Situated next to the Royal Pavilion and accessed through the Royal Pavilion Gift Shop, The Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bar couldn’t be better placed. Its outdoor terrace looks directly onto the historic palace, creating one of the most scenic spots in Brighton to enjoy a chilled glass of Sussex sparkling wine.
Whether you’re stopping by after exploring the Lanes, meeting friends for pre-dinner drinks or looking for a unique date-night destination, it’s set to become one of the city’s standout summer venues.
Discover Award-Winning English Sparkling Wine
English sparkling wine has earned a global reputation for quality in recent years, with Sussex leading the way thanks to its chalk-rich soils and favourable climate. Roebuck Estates has played a key role in that success, producing elegant vintage wines that consistently receive industry recognition.
At the Brighton pop-up, you can sample all four wines from the winery’s Classic Collection by the glass or bottle, while selected vintages will also be available in magnum. If you’re new to English sparkling wine, curated tasting flights offer the perfect introduction, allowing you to compare three vintages and discover the subtle differences that make each wine unique. You can also purchase bottles to enjoy at home or gift to fellow wine lovers.
More Than Just a Wine Bar
The Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bar Brighton is about more than exceptional wine. Throughout the summer, Roebuck Estates will collaborate with some of Brighton & Hove’s leading restaurants and local food producers for a series of exclusive tasting evenings and food pairing events, celebrating the region’s thriving culinary scene.
These special events promise to showcase the very best of Sussex produce alongside vintage English sparkling wine, creating memorable experiences for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike.
A Natural Partnership with Brighton
As the official sparkling wine partner of Brighton & Hove Museums, Roebuck Estates already has strong ties to the city. Opening a dedicated English sparkling wine bar at the Royal Pavilion Rooms feels like a natural next chapter, strengthening the winery’s connection with Brighton while introducing more people to the quality and craftsmanship of Sussex wine.
Michael Kennedy, CEO of Roebuck Estates, said:
“English sparkling wine has never been more exciting, and we want more people to experience it – not just those who can visit our vineyard. Brighton is one of the UK’s most exciting food and drink destinations, making it the perfect place to showcase Roebuck. We hope guests discover our wines here before coming to see where they’re made in Petworth.”
When Is The Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bar Open?
The Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bar will be open Wednesday to Sunday from midday until 9pm, with extended opening hours at weekends throughout July and August.
If you’re searching for unique things to do in Brighton this summer, enjoy discovering local food and drink producers or simply fancy a glass of premium English sparkling wine in an unforgettable setting, this seasonal pop-up deserves a place at the top of your list.
