The Birmingham Wine Festival takes place at The Hyatt Regency, on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th June 2014.  Over 300 bottlings of wine, champagne, sparkling and fortified wines will be on taste.

Two of the city’s culinary stalwarts – Loves and Turners – will be providing the nibbles.

The event is expected to attract nearly 2,000 wine lovers from around the country. You’ll have the chance to taste of a large selection of wines including new and rare varieties, some of which have not been seen in the city before.  New to wine?  Worry not, there will be masterclasses so you can learn a bit more about what you’re drinking.

Birmingham Wine Festival co-founder Amy Seton (AKA “the whisky lady”) said: “Birmingham’s food and drink scene has developed massively over the last few years yet there has never been a weekend long wine festival in the city. With the launch of places like Loki Wine and the heritage with places like Connolly’s and Laithwaites there is clearly a desire for those in the city and surrounding areas for an event like this.”

Birmingham’s top wine retailers Loki and Connolly’s are both on board with the festival and will be exhibiting at the event along with Harvey Nichols.

See you there!
