English Wine Week is the perfect opportunity to discover just how far England’s drinks industry has come, and this June, The Whisky Exchange is marking the occasion with an evening that showcases two of the country’s most exciting success stories.
On Thursday 25 June, The Whisky Exchange London Bridge will host its English Wine and English Whisky Walk-Around Tasting, bringing together some of the finest producers from both categories for an informal and engaging tasting experience.
When The Whisky Exchange Becomes The Wine Exchange
While The Whisky Exchange is best known for its world-class spirits selection, every June it embraces a different identity as The Wine Exchange, celebrating outstanding wines through a series of tastings across its London stores.
This annual programme shines a spotlight on exceptional producers and offers wine lovers the chance to discover new bottles, meet experts and explore emerging trends within the drinks industry.
Discover England’s Thriving Wine Scene
The English wine industry is enjoying a remarkable period of growth, with established vineyards and emerging producers gaining international recognition for their quality and craftsmanship.
At the tasting, guests can sample wines from some of England’s leading producers, including Rathfinny, Langham and Gusbourne. Together, they showcase the diversity, elegance and innovation that continue to drive the category forward.
English Whisky Takes Centre Stage
Alongside the wines, visitors will have the opportunity to explore another flourishing home-grown drinks category: English whisky.
Distilleries including Filey Bay, East London Liquor Co. and White Peak are helping to establish England as a serious whisky-producing nation, creating distinctive spirits that are earning acclaim from enthusiasts and critics alike.
An Informal Evening of Discovery
Taking place from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at The Whisky Exchange London Bridge, the walk-around format allows guests to taste at their own pace while comparing styles, discovering new favourites and learning more about the producers behind each pour.
As an added bonus, attendees will receive £5 off any in-store purchase over £15 made on the evening.
