Wine Tasting
Tom Surgey
Sat 8 November
We are setting the table at Tewinbury for a night of wine, food and laughter, hosted by the incomparable Tom Surgey.
Tom is one of the most exciting voices in the drinks world today. An author, television presenter and professional mischief-maker when it comes to wine, he has a way of making every glass feel like a discovery and every tasting feel like a party. You might recognise him from ITV’s Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh, from the pages of his book How to Drink Wine or from his live shows with food festivals and chefs across the country. Wherever you have seen him, you will know he brings humour, warmth and a spark that turns a room into a celebration.
On this November evening Tom will host a feast in the Tewinbury style. Think long tables, candlelight, generous food from our kitchens and bottles opened and shared. Less polite swirling, more relaxed conversation and plates passed between friends.
Tewinbury has been part of Hertfordshire life for generations, a family-run farm rooted in the land and its rhythms. We do not make wine here, but our ethos is the same. We have partnered with small, independent wineries from across the globe to bring a thoughtful selection to your table. Each bottle has been chosen for its story and its character, each paired with food that comes straight from our farm to your fork. From familiar favourites to new discoveries, the wines are here to be enjoyed sip by sip.
This is wine as it should be – lively, generous, unpretentious and shared. Come and take your place at the table.
