A Sparkling Celebration of Growth – RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2025
This July, we were delighted to return as the exclusive English sparkling wine sponsor of the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2025, set within the spectacular grounds of Hampton Court Palace. The festival once again proved to be a joyful celebration of horticulture, sustainability, and community, and we were proud to be part of it.
Our partnership with the RHS reflects a shared love of nature, excellence and celebration of growing. Running from Tuesday 1 July to Sunday 6 July, this year’s event welcomed thousands of visitors who explored stunning show gardens, inspiring talks, and seasonal experiences across the Palace grounds.
“We’ve always been of the belief that our sparkling wines can only taste as good as they do if our vineyards are thriving. That means caring for our vines and everything else that lives alongside them.”
Sparkling Moments in the Gardens
Our Roebuck Sparkling Wine Bars, available in two locations, became a popular stop throughout the week, where guests enjoyed glasses of our award-winning vintage English sparkling wines. Many also took the opportunity to indulge in a Roebuck Sparkling Wine Afternoon Tea at one of the Garden Festival cafés — a perfect way to pause and savour the surroundings.
Inspiring Talks on the Get Growing Stage
This year, we were proud to present three talks on the Get Growing Stage, each warmly received by enthusiastic audiences. These sessions gave a deeper insight into English wine, sustainability, and the ecology of modern viticulture:
“A Golden Era of English Wine & Viticulture,” with Jake Wicks and Michael Kennedy
Our Head of Viticulture and CEO explored the transformation of the English wine industry and how passion, innovation, and a deep connection to the land are shaping its future.“A Golden Era of English Wine & Viticulture,” with Jake Wicks and Danielle Whitehead
In this engaging session, Jake was joined by our Head of Marketing to discuss the story of English sparkling wine through the lens of both vine and brand, highlighting how storytelling and sustainable practices go hand in hand.“Creating a Haven of Biodiversity” with Matt Howard
A powerful and timely session led by our ecology and biodiversity lead, Matt shared how Roebuck is enhancing its vineyard landscape to support wildlife, promote soil health, and create a truly regenerative viticultural environment.
Each talk was a chance to connect more deeply with visitors and share not only our wines but our values, from the roots up.
Thank You for Celebrating With Us
To all who joined us for a glass, a talk, or simply a moment of calm in the gardens — thank you. We were thrilled to meet so many passionate growers, gardeners, and wine lovers throughout the week.
