Glasgow – what a blast! A huge thanks to all of our exhibitors and the 340 wine lovers who made the event a complete sell out, buying over 500 tickets for the main tasting, masterclasses and BYO dinner. The feeback from both exhibitors and attendees has been hugely positive – so thank you. To be […]
Apologies to those who have missed out this year, but the Glasgow Festival of Wine 2016 is completely sold out: all of our masterclasses sold out a couple of weeks ago, but the final few tickets for the main tasting event have also gone, with 10 days to go. My thanks to everyone who has […]

Joining us from South Africa, Brian Smith and his wife Marion set up Elgin Vineyards in 2007, having sold their IT business in […]
I’m delighted with the strong showing from independent wine merchants who will be joining the bigger boys at our tasting. The list includes some of Scotland and the UK’s most innovative retailers. Multi-award-winning WoodWinters have shops in Edinburgh and Bridge of Allan, but have carved a reputation for their outstanding wine list that spans everything […]
The Saturday night BYO dinner that officially marks the end of the Festival is the highlight of the weekend for many people. It is a relaxed and casual evening (no black tie required!) although it will take place in the magnificent Grand Hall of the Trades Hall in the centre of Glasgow, where 100 guests […]
The launch of Glasgow’s very own wine festival.
