WineGB announces the 2026 Trade & Media Tasting

Taking place on Monday 7 September at Old Billingsgate, the industry’s flagship event promises to be bigger and better and the most comprehensive, insight driven showcase of English and Welsh wine in the UK. The tasting is set to deliver the strongest line up yet, bringing together producers, buyers, sommeliers, retailers, importers, educators and journalists for a day that defines the direction of the category. As interest in home grown wine continues to accelerate, this tasting has become the thought leader moment for the sector. It’s where the trade comes to understand what’s next, where media discovers the stories shaping the industry, and where commercial opportunities are created in real time. Recent releases from WineGB members highlight the tasting’s evolution: a central London venue, expanded floor space, themed tasting tables, and masterclasses designed to deepen category knowledge and elevate the visitor experience. This is the event that sets the agenda. For drinks trade professionals, hospitality leaders and media, the WineGB Trade & Media Tasting is the one day of the year where you can taste widely, meet producers directly, deepen your category knowledge and get ahead of the trends shaping the UK market. Expect energy. Expect discovery. Expect the category at its most exciting and ambitious.
