"It’s the UK’s most successful wine show ever, now 45 years old… but it’s only ever been in London. As a northerner myself, I am very relieved that we are, at last, bringing it up to Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester. Over the 14th, 15th, and 16th November, we will be travelling around to exciting venues on our bus; our winegrowers, wine buyers, Wine Guides, and people like me who just love these ‘wine parties’ - I’ve never missed a single Festival in all 45 years!  

Next year we plan to go even further north. And west. I promise you a great evening no matter how much or how little you know about wine. You’ll make new friends… with wines AND with the people who make them. You’ll taste wines that will amaze you and easily sort out your wine buying for the year.  

Our wine-growers go to other shows in France, Australia, Spain - wherever they are - but they’ve always said our Wine Festival is easily their favorite on account of the level of passionate interest our customers display. Please come and join the party."
