IEWA Presents: English Wine Will Change Your Life

Welcome to IEWA Presents: English Wine Will Change Your Life, a Bristol-based series of wine fairs, tastings and events celebrating the most exciting independent English wines.

This isn’t just another wine meetup. It’s a full-on English wine intervention.

Fizz, white, rosé, red and orange — changing everything, one glass at a time.

Our events bring together medal-winning vineyards and standout producers from across England, pouring wines that are rewriting the rules of what English wine can be. Think world-class sparkling, crisp game-changing whites, smooth and juicy rosés, characterful reds, and the occasional eye-opening surprise.

Think you know good wine? Think again.
This isn’t Burgundy. This isn’t New Zealand.
This is English wine - and it’s about to change your life.

Each tasting is designed to be informal, welcoming and packed with discovery. You’ll sip your way around the room at your own pace, chatting directly with the winemakers and owners behind the bottles. No reps. No PR scripts. No middlemen. Just proper wine, poured by the people who make it.

IEWA has been running the Independent English Wine Awards for over a decade, and these events are our way of bringing that world to life - connecting producers and drinkers in the same room, in the most atmospheric spaces we can find (including the historic vaulted cellars of Averys in Bristol).

The vibe? Informal. Buzzing. Mind-blown.
Small, curated, ticketed events - once they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you’re curious about English wine, already obsessed, or just ready to taste something new, you’re in exactly the right place.

Upcoming events and tickets are available via **IEWA.uk**.
