The Taste Theatre

You can’t beat a bit of drama and great wine. Our Taste Theatre will be the venue for a range of fun, informative tastings hosted by some of the wine world’s very best presenters.

Shopping at the Festival

With over 350 wines to taste, the Wine Festival is the ultimate try-before-you-buy event. You can choose to have your wines delivered of course. But if you want something lovely that same weekend, bottles will be available on the day for you to take home.

Vineyard Partners

Come and taste some very special wines from dedicated producers in Rioja, Bordeaux, Australia and beyond. Meet the winemakers and discover all the benefits of being a Vineyard Partner, including guaranteed annual allocations at supporters-only prices.

The Cheese Hub

Food and wine and fun! We’re showcasing the ultimate food and drink pairings with producers like rock star-turned cheesemaker, Alex James. Join him on Friday and taste how his Britpop fizz and the perfect cheese combination can hit all the right notes.

Meet the Experts

Not stuffy wine bores but real wine nuts … the Laithwaites, Oz Clarke, Will Lyons and the Events Team’s host with the most, Grant Hedley. Superb wine and lively chat guaranteed.

Merlot on the Dance Floor

Prepare yourself for the ultimate sensory experience as we investigate how certain music can change and maybe improve your perception of wine. Then later, put on the headphones for our silent disco! Let the tunes warm your soul and the wines dance across your palate, as MC Grant creates just the right musical vibe to accompany the wine in your glass.
