Glasgow Festival of Wine

Saturday 2 June 2018

Glasgow's favourite wine tasting event is brought to you by Tom Cannavan, award-winning wine writer, broadcaster, and proud citizen of the city. Tom’s pioneering wine-pages.com is one of the world’s most popular wine sites, though you may know him best from his long-running slot on STV’s ‘The Hour’, or his broadcasts on BBC Radio.

The 2016 and 2017 Festivals completely sold-out, with every ticket gone months before the doors opened. The feedback from our exhibitors on the quality of the Glasgow audience was amazing – and the feedback from the audience on the quality of our exhibitors was equally enthusiastic! We’ll have plenty of new names and new wines in 2018, and another stunning line-up of very affordable masterclasses.

The Festival is a day-long celebration of wine. Your entry ticket includes unlimited tasting samples from 250 high quality wines being poured by some of the UK’s top wine retailers, importers and the winemakers themselves. There will be some foodie nibbles on offer, and the usual fun blind tasting competition to win a bottle of Champagne. The Festival is open from noon until 5pm, with re-entry via the Festival wristband.

Why attend?

We love great wine, and we want to share the love with you. You’ll discover superb new wines as you hone your own palate, whilst our exhibitors will pour and discuss their wines with you – with Tom on hand all day to share his knowledge too. The historic and beautiful Trades Hall in the city centre is the perfect venue to add to the sense of occasion!
