What is English Wine Week?
One week of the year is dedicated to what we do every day at Elizabeth Rose Wines: celebrating the incredible vineyards, producers, and wines of England.
English Wine Week is an annual campaign organised by WineGB, the natio
nal trade association for the UK wine industry. As an official WineGB Trade Ambassador, I'd like to encourage you to get involved and discover more of what English wine has to offer.
20-28 June 2026
Visit a Vineyard
There are now over 1,000 vineyards across the UK, many of which are open to visitors. Whether you're looking to enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the vines, join a guided tour, or simply pick up a bottle to take home, there are plenty of ways to experience English wine firsthand.
Many vineyards are hosting special events and celebrations during English Wine Week, so keep an eye out for what's happening near you.
Please note that some vineyards operate by appointment only, so it's always worth checking before you travel.
Order English
More restaurants and bars than ever are featuring English wines on their wine lists, with an increasing range of styles and producers available.
If you're heading out for a meal this week or meeting friends at the pub, why not make a conscious effort to choose English wine? Every glass poured helps support the growers, winemakers, families, and communities behind this thriving industry.
Purchase English
Planning to enjoy the sunshine at home? Ask your local wine merchant wh
at English wines they have available. You can also visit your nearest vineyard cellar door or order from a specialist retailer such as ourselves.
Supporting English wine producers helps sustain local businesses while giving you the opportunity to enjoy some truly exceptional wines.
Try Something New
One of the key aims of English Wine Week is discovery.
England is producing an exciting range of wines, and there's so much more to explore than sparkling wine, Chardonnay, and Bacchus. Have you tried Madeleine Angevine? What about an orange wine? Or even a sparkling red?
English wine is constantly evolving, making this the perfect opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and discover something new.
