Food and Wine Fair in London

 


London Wine Fair is at Olympia Monday 20th to Wednesday 22nd 2024. What can you see or try?

First, it is not open to the public. Oly the trade. However you can look at in online and see their Facebook page.

The Drinks Britania section features English and Welsh wine. There's also Scottish whisky.

This is for the trade, wine writers, promoters of wine brands, tourist boards promoting wine regions. Sommeliers and buyers of wine and organizers of wine tastings and wine holidays.

Who is exhibiting? Well known wine regions. Masterclass tastings. Authors of books on wine. Writers of newsletters on wine. Writers of newspaper columns on wine.


Global warming is opening up areas of England to the opportunity of vineyards. Although London is famous for its clay soil, reulting in houses built of London red bricks, around the south of England and others parts of the UK we have a swathe of the same chalk under the surface soil as the Loire valley and the Champagne region. That's what the vines love. We have vineyards across England and Wales. 

Who will you bump into, or arrange to meet? A whole range of people, different ages, classes, nationalities.
