About this event
This isn’t just a wine fair. It’s a full-on English wine intervention; Fizz, White, Rosé, Red & Orange - changing everything, one glass at a time. 15 unique producers. 60 artisan wines: Midland Press, For The Heretics, Fortieth Rule, Hollands Wine, The Wharie Experience, Burn Valley VIneyard, Wellhayes Vineyard… *Full Vineyard Line-Up TBC*. Think you know good wine? Think again. This isn’t Burgundy. This isn’t New Zealand. This is English wine, and it’s about to change your life. Bristol becomes the beating heart of indie English wine. Fifteen medal-winning vineyards - all stars of 'The IEWA' (Independent English Wine Awards) - are coming together to pour their best stuff: world-class fizz, crisp game-changing whites, smooth and juicy rosés, characterful reds, even tasty eye-opening orange wines. Sip and sample your way around the room at your leisure, chatting to passionate, skilled winemakers from across England. This tasting has wines to suit all tastes so invite your friends for a fun and informative session not to be missed. We've been running our English wine comp for 10 years... and following the success of our first public wine fair in November 2025, we’re delighted to be holding two more this year for our community, in the atmospheric, cool vaulted cellars at Averys. And they’re not sending reps or PRs. Taste your way around the room with the owners and winemakers themselves - the people behind the bottles, present and pouring, chatting and telling their stories. No middlemen, no fluff. Just you, your glass, and the makers of some of the most exciting wines in the country. The vibe? Informal. Buzzing. Mind-blown. A room full of discoveries. The set-up? 90 tickets. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
